I've managed to build up a collection of bunnies too. Stories that seemed like they had promise when I started typing, but the promise seemed to fade the further I went. It's those killer bunnies that I keep looking for, the ones that keep chewing at you so you are forced to pay attention to them; only these have the stamina necessary for me to see them through.
You found one problem with recording eureka moments (not remembering why it was worthy of recording), the other is being able to find the one you need when you need it. I often feel like Neville with his "Rememberall": it's one thing to know you've forgotten something, it's another to remember what that is - or, in this case, where in amongst this huge collection of notes it is.
