DX is right. Getting rid of the comma for those cases is pretty easy.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Looks right to me. Only you don't need the else to say "else nothing".
if($speaker){echo', ';}
or even just:
echo($speaker?', ':'';)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
'Twas my reaction as well. Maybe the SecretHiddenAsterisks near the bottom of the page became a part of the post?
Did it get sufficiently explained to y'all? Basically, everything that I tried to put inside whitefont (and everything thereafter) showed up in the final post as *********. I'd missed the closing quote on "white."

I was the most confused, Katie, and I get it now.
Just so you know, there isn't really an automatic conversion of bad HTML to ***, it's just that the unclosed quote swallows up everything on the page until it reaches another quote, and that just happened to be around the point where the Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks were.

We have Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks?
See, I knew I was missing out by never going into programming. Of course, I also saved having to physically destroy any number of computers that weren't doing what I wanted them to, so I'm going to call it a net win.

Can some of the asterisks be Alyson Hannigan?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Yeah, like the asterisk I'd use when saying,
I haven't really been pursued by many desirable TV celebrities recently*
- except for Alyson Hannigan, and I don't really mind that.

She can't be your secret celebrity girlfriend, Nou, if you don't even spell her name right!

It's the Internet. It's caused me to spell "there" "their," after 24 years of doing it correctly, and now this. I see Allyson's name on the board every day, so it overwrote the correct spelling in my brain. I edited.

It's the Internet.
That's no excuse! I'm on the internet too, and I say it right.
Therefore, she is MINE.
I have impeccable logic.
