Very interesting responses. I have been converted! I always
left the last comma out. I am now of the opinion it should be
left in. Now to disciple myself to include it.
The votes for "Either is Correct" were generally in agreement that
consistency was necessary. Leave it in always, or take it out
always. Don't mix and match.
BTW, some of you mathematical inclined readers will notice the
vote exceeds the response count, that's because a few responses
preferred one way, but said either was OK.
