Hi Amy,

Thanks a lot for you pointing this out -- I guess you are so good at spotting these things because your cat scrutinizes every sentences too . I've removed the redundant comma and it'll be gone with the next site update which might take a couple of days.

Nope, my cat never scrutinized any text for typos. Instead, he created mountains of typos by sitting on the keyboard, and always left the mess for me to clean up.
