I agree with Sean, Marci, and the others.
Although IBM's official style includes the last comma in lists,
I notice almost everyone omits it in casual correspondence.
I think they were taught in grade school to not use the
last comma and the habit carries on. I have never heard
any justification for not using the last comma.

If something is done well,
no one will ask 'How long did
it take?' but 'Who did it?'
