[ajug-members] Explain the Method Header in more detail

[Terry Conner]

To all my Ajug friends: 

I am sorry for asking a question about java. I only ask the question because I was researching the standard format of a method, and saw where the method header does not have a object . 

I am sorry for asking a question, but I did research it before I ask ..
