I think it was me at the time - I feel that multi-line comments (blocks) are useful as soon as your SPARQL queries gets several lines - and while debugging you might want to keep different query pieces visible. One more point is about documentation or "literate programming" ala javadoc, where one wants to provide some full blown description of what the query does. Using single line comments for everything might be annoying sometimes (yes, in Perl I hate single line comments sometimes) to sum up: +0 for /* ..... */ multi-line comments +1 for # as single line comments Alberto > > No, that may have been someone else.
