I have been trying to follow StyleCop's guidelines on a project, to see if the resulting code was better in the end. Most rules are reasonable or a matter of opinion on coding standard, but there is one rule which puzzles me, because I haven't seen anyone else recommend it, and because I don't see a clear benefit to it:

> 
> **SA1101: The call to {method or property name} must begin with the 'this.' prefix to indicate that the item is a member of the class.**
> 
> 
> 

On the downside, the code is clearly more verbose that way, so what are the benefits of following that rule? Does anyone here follow that rule?
