No,

sorry I should have been more clear, add the above elisp to your Emacs
initialization (or just evaluate it in your scratch buffer), and then
after doing so whenever you export a buffer containing a begin/end_notes
block, the block will be removed during export.  Then later if you want
to export the notes along with the article text, you can evaluate the
following elisp code to set *export-my-notes* to t, and re-export to
find the notes embedded in the exported document.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq *export-my-notes* t)
#+end_src

Hope this clears things up -- Eric
