I am using the elsevier
class to prepare a document.
I would like to remove the abstract environment but I can not find the way to do that. I commented out \begin{abstract} .... \end{abstract}
but I still get the two horizontal lines
which enclose the abstract.

As of Feb. 2015, I found that the answer from egreg did not remove the
\hrule
s. There is an additional macro,\pprintMaketitle
in which I had to comment out the same lines of code to remove the horizontal rules around the abstract that are present even if no abstract is present.
