The Introductory Comma Seems to Be Gaining Traction

Let me draw your attention to your MySpace home page. And don't try any crap about your not having one. We all have one. Get over it.

How does your page greet you? It says, "Hello, [Name]!" Notice that cute little comma there? It's serving an important purpose: It's telling you that MySpace is addressing you rather than telling you to do something. If the comma were (subjunctive! Bangles!) not there, MySpace would be telling you to perform an action called "Hello [Name]."

I don't know how to "Hello [Name]." But, then again, I haven't even lived in L.A. for a whole year yet.

For further reading on the introductory comma, see this seminal piece of punctuation prose.
