Has anyone written a "comment" environment for LaTeX?  The text
between "\begin{comment}" and "\end{comment}" would not be typeset by
LaTeX. 

Thanks for any and all help,
   Dan

Important references are given in boldface.  Italicized numbers indicate
fleeting references, wheras numbers in parentheses refer to mere
implications or unwarranted extrapolations.  Asterisks are used to
identifiy particularly distasteful passages.
