Sorry, I was a bit unclear. It is not the comma I have a quibble with, it is the use of 'when' instead of 'in case'.

However, it's not necessary to use that comma for the last list item preceding the connective (in this case, "and"). Functionally, the comma and the connective (and) do the same thing. But, I won't quibble over style. - Mike At 08:03 AM 2/4/1999 -0500, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: >On Thu, 4 Feb 1999, Mike Paciello wrote: > > 3.
