I see. I go by "Bugs in Writing" (awesome book) and Strunk/White. They 
both recommend the comma, no ifs and buts (hard for me to get used to 
because in Romanian that comma is _never_ correct).

Just googled it now, it's quite a story. Found among other things a 
Wikipedia page dedicated entirely to the topic! 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma

Above all, it's your article, and one great thing about that is you get 
to decide everything about it. A great feeling!
