I agree with Curtis ... but maintain that appropriate use of a comma
after "punctuation" (in the quoted text above) is up to the writer.

Either way, Sonova Fitch's comment remains inaccurate.

A thread of this type to me is a spot-on indicator of why the majority of players who write on vpFREE cannot derive a profit from the video poker machines, regardless of the amount of long-term hocus-pocus fed to their brains by the so-called gurus, math people, and commercialized agents of the game.. And yes, the comma after "math people" is appropriate....
