Not even sure thats a cameltoe

In an effort to come up with a term for 'depth of indentation between big toe and second toe', the record holder came up with "toe cameltoe." If that name doesn't work, what should we call this record?

Yes. What Miguel said.
Adding 'private' is kind of like putting in an inline comment that states the obvious, since it has zero effect on what gets compiled.
NB: this assumes your code is being maintained by C# programmers (ie - people who know C#)
/*reference semantics*/ class Foo
{
string /*is return type*/ Bar(int a, int b, int c) /*method has 3 parameters*/
{ ... }
}

Sorry. I forgot to put another comment against class Foo: /*this class is garbage collected*/
Some people might not know that.

in Stream.CopyStream - Miguel de Icaza on Miguel de Icaza's blog
This was a good question.
It just goes to show that if you ask a question like this you will get lots of people trying to look clever by thinking up reasons why it can't be done.
I've implemented this function multiple times. If the framework can have File.WriteAllLines then it sure as hell should have a CopyStream method. If people have esoteric situations where a simple implementation wouldn't work.... well then, don't use the simple implementation!
PS: TextReader should implement a 'Lines' enumerator.

Well, if all you're looking for is:
stream2.Write(stream1), then that's trivial enough to implement. However if you want something more along the lines of giving you three identical copies of the same stream so you can independently read from the copies and progress the initial stream, then it's a lot harder.
byte[] bytes = GetData();
MemoryStream a = new MemoryStream(bytes);
MemoryStream b = new MemoryStream(bytes);
MemoryStream c = new MemoryStream(bytes);
If you want a CopyStream that essentially does the above except using a Stream as the base rather than a byte[] as the base, the task is very difficult.

That is a really good idea.
Are you aware of "Mono.Rocks"? It is a library of extension methods that some developers have been prototyping to add useful extension methods.
