Can we get commas on everything in the battle page? (in General)

One example from a recent battle:
Cloudscape found no valid targets on which to cast Antimagic Field
Prophecies cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (1397279)
Microchips cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (3507485)
Sox cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (1,200,000)
Sox cast Protection on all friendly Minions (20)
Ranged Combat
Cloudscape hit Sox with Destroy [858700]
The Grid hit Sox with Spiral [1053791]
The Grid skewered Sox with Spiral [1065309]
The Grid cries "Say Hello to my Little Friend!"
Sox hit Prophecies [491]
R.I.P. Sox
The DM effect gets commas, but the damage done and the EC effect do not. Can we make this uniform?
Commas in all damage output would be nice.

I've been aching for commas in the transfer log for quite some time now...

Woot. I'm part of a thread and being used as an example. Sorry. This post has nothing to do with the thread but was excited none the less.

Let's pause for thought, are commas really necessary?

Yes

Yes, so it doesn't take 5 seconds to figure out if that is hundred thousand or million. Plus, why does DM only have it?

I will say it again for those in the back row:
yes

I made a funny and I think the audience missed it :)
hehe, that was pretty darn hilarious!
emotions just get so high when dealing with punctuation that everyone gets all literal it seems.

There are 3 things we do not debate in my family:
Politics, religion and punctuation.

In my family we don't discus that I haven't changed underwear for half a year now.

But you do wear it inside out every other day, don't you?

Ironically enough, you missed something...

As I remember (and others can chime in), it is acceptable to not put a comma between the 2nd and 3rd nouns in a list if you use the word and.
I may be wrong but I do not think it is unacceptable.

Don't turn this into a discussion of the serial comma - that's like a double gitmo can of punctuation worms.
i say nay to the commas, the market for commas is at an all time high, the government has been subsidizing comma distributors and manufacturers. and with inflation on the rise and those greedy buggers wanting more profit i say save your ones and zeros they are best spend elsewhere. :P
