Well, you can use it to strip out all the comments from a configuration file, which *can* help in some ways: You've got less to have to read through, which can be easier on the eyes or ears. The computer has less to parse, so some services will start up quicker (that can be quite significant on some slower computers). But you don't need to do it. I really only suggested it as a way of someone to look through a long configuration file, for ease of reading (re: Andreas Bernauer's comment about how some people mightn't be willing to trawl through a 100 line configuration file for you, on the mailing list). And, I dare say, that if you had to wade through that configuration file a few times with a text-to-speech converter, you might get sick of all the comments, too. But it's handy to keep a commented file somewhere, as it gives you hints. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
