Can anyone explain why the writeRecord method is NOT synchronized while all the other methods are?

the writeRecord() method is a private method of the Data clas.
It is only called by the public methods of the Data class, which
are synchronized. Therefore, since it will always be called
from a synchronized code block, there is no need to synchronize
this method.

Thanks Vladimir. But so is the readRecord method. It is private too, but it is synchronized. Isn't this inconsistent, if nothing else, from a style viewpoint?
