I'm developing a form which is to be used as an enhanced MessageBox(). I
don't want it to be shown with the default Show() method, so as I provided
overloaded versions of Show() I marked them as Shadows and I didn't provide
a parameterless version of Show(). Would it have been better (or would this
have even worked) to simply make a Private version of Show() and only
exposed (i.e., made Public) the other overloads?
