The original purpose for punctuation was to indicate the rhythm and flow of the written word. When relating a series of items one doesn't say "item one (pause) item twoanditemthree." They say "item one (pause) item two (pause = COMMA) and item three." To not indicate as such in the written word is inexcusable. It is a discourtesy to the reader.
