    Bad compiler error messages suck

    This one is from visual studio: 
    C:\home\mikal\webservice-statepersistance-xmlmagic\wwwroot\Service1.asmx.cs(329): ) expected
    The problem? 
    [WebMethod]
public string RecordSave(string	instate)
{
	// TODO
}
    Should have read: 
    [WebMethod]
public string RecordSave(string	instate)
{
	// TODO
	return "";
}
    A more helpful error message would have saved me some significant time looking for orphan brackets.
