No, that's wrong. The "--no-comment" option does a different thing, for
the normal user total useles. It doesn't affect the comment in 
ASCII armored output. Quote from the man page:


	--no-comment

		Do not write comment packets.  This option affects only
		the generation of secret keys.  Output of option packets
		is disabled since version 0.4.2.


To omit the comment in ASCII armored GnuPG output use --comment "" or as
Werner mentioned, remove the comment by hand or sed or something else.
