This seems to be an axioma, since the reasons you give are only relative.
The removal or adding of fields is not imporant as long as you do not use
fields as numbers.
In a low user system, the engine load is not important, and it is a hel
of a lot easier.
So I use "Select * From" all the time, if I need more than a single
field.

ASP is not a language but a platfoem, you are discussing VBscript here.

However, for commenting out a multiline code part, try:

if false then
.....
.....
.....
.....
end if

as long as there is no else, elseif or end if inside.

Commenting out HTML is also very easy:

<% if false then %>
.....
.....
.....
.....
<% end if %>
