Regions suck, pure and simple. Except for a few rare exceptions, if I see a lot of regions, it's usually because the class contains too much and needs to be refactored. If your code is well organized, it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for in 2-3 seconds or less. Put all your private field declarations, your internals, your public methods, public properties and constructors in the same order, and you will be able to find everything really quickly. This is my preferred order: Constructors Public properties Public methods Protected properties & methods Internal properties & methods Private methods Private fields Having ReSharper helps a lot too, if you're a .NET developer. Ctrl-Alt-F shows you all your declarations in a nice window with the ability to drag things around. Why create housekeeping tasks with keeping regions neat and tidy? They don't add anything you can't get by just keeping your classes to a reasonable size and being a little bit organized.

Maybe the variable "path" is only used for locking against multiple threads running this at the same time. If they assign a value to the variable, that would be kinda weird. I use the "lock" keyword for multithreading, but I usually name the variable something like "padlock" and don't use it for anything else.

I used to work with this guy who said "Noted and agreed" all the time as a way to dismiss whatever point it was you were trying to make and move on to whatever it was he was bloviating about on that day. I wish I had stopped him just once to call him on it since it was clear that nothing was being noted, and he certainly didn't agree with the point being made.

Perhaps the site was launched and this *is* the site. It is the Infinity PC, going on forever and ever and ever ...
