A commonly found problem. (That was difficult, wasn't it?) A CommonProblem often masquerades as an AntiPattern, I believe. The giveaway is that in a CommonProblem the bad situation is described as the ''problem'', in a true AntiPattern it is described as the ''supposed solution'' -- StephenHutchinson ---- ''I would appreciate further expansion on this because I currently can see little of value in this page. Can you give some examples?'' I see some so-called AntiPattern''''''s where the description is just a problem statement, and when I try to reformulate the description into the AntiPatternTemplate I'm really struggling, because they just don't seem to fit. For example: * CornCob * BoatAnchor * TheGrandOldDukeOfYork -- StephenHutchinson
