Each of these bugs caused a rule in these conventions. always specify the lock is just one of them... On the other hand, these samples are just supposed to give you an idea about the basics. If one would do everything as one would in a real application, the concept that is intended to be shown might get lost in the rest... I wonder, if it would make sense to have some central spot where such best-practice coding-conventions could be published, and where people could make comments about how they would adjust these conventions.

The problem with this idea is, of course, that every experienced programmer has her/his own favorite ways of doing things, and such a best-practices collection might quickly turn into a religious war-zone, where the original intent is no longer fulfilled... @Sean: I'm happy to share my conventions with you, if you like. And I am sure, others would do the same...
