title: StringBuffer append("")
body: <p>I'm currentlly refactoring an application using a lot of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>StringBuffer buff1 = new StringBuffer("");
  
  buff1.append("some value A");
  buff1.append("");
  buff1.append("some value B");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The coder that made those code lines didn't seems to be an idiot, is there any reasons I can't see to use the append("") to a StringBuffer? </p>
