Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oxford commas are bunk. Superfluous more often than clarifying. The rule should be the necessity of the comma/separation rather than a useless consistency which slows the eye. In short if you don't need the comma there, then don't put the stupid comma there.
David, for a second, I think you get me, and then I realize you never could. UGH!

History will validate me on this Oxford Comma biz! It's clearly going away anyhow.
Actually, in about three years we're going to be all, "Damn, remember when we cared about commas because people actually wrote properly punctuated grammatical sentences? Those were the days. Lol."

I still say no to the Oxford comma. But I think that's just to be cantankerous. I seriously don't care that much about most things anymore.

On my way into work today a man wearing a lampshade on his head told me to have a nice day.
Did you take a detour to Cincinnati and walk by the UDF near CCM?

I have given the feedback "OXFORD COMMA OR BURNING. YOU CHOOSE" to project managers.
In the spirit of roll call: I will be erratic in my attendance here for the next week, because I get on a plane to Copenhagen tomorrow. I'll try to read/post, but it depends on meetings and jet lag.
