It's probably a good time to bump this post to the top (sorry :), because I am starting to use and learn about conversations. With so many different paths a conversation can take, it seems like almost every method on my SFSBs have both a @Begin and an @End, because of that method's role in one conversation or another... e.g. If my SFSB has 10 methods with a large number of paths that the conversation can legally take, I start annotating those 10 methods with @Begin and @End for every conversation, one by one. Once annotating all conversations is done, I figure out too many methods have @Begin and @End, and it's totally inaccurate...
