On the Subject of Commas...

Hi, everyone!

    I'm new, here, but I wanted to introduce myself by asking about one of my favorite grammatical questions.  Where do you stand, as far as placing/using commas go?  As you may have already noticed, I'm a fan of commas.  My sentences tend to be fraught with interjected phrases, so they tend to look quite complex to others. 

    Personally, I find it difficult to read complex sentences without commas.  I find myself wanting to edit the sentence, shoving in commas with wild abandon, so that I can parse its information the way it was intended to be understood.  (At least, the way I think it was intended to be understood.)

    I welcome all responses and hope that this isn't a dead-horse topic, so to speak. 


Thanks,
Wyn
