I've noticed that a comment is only respected if it's the first character on 
the line. I tried putting a comment after the status of the router [something 
like

router1:cisco:up # this is one of Bob's routers
router2:cisco:up # another one of Bob's

]

and it didn't work. The reason I wanted a comment on the line was so that I 
could easily match it with grep, to email all of Bob's configs to him once a 
week. I found another way in the end, but it's something to watch out for.
