You should be able to remove whatever is surrounded by the commas and still have the sentence make sense. Since "Hank" isn't cruicial info ("our reader just commented" makes sense on its own), it's surrounded by commas. Of course, that's not exactly how a grammarian would explain it, but still...<br/><br/>Anyway, back to gorgeous design!

You say "too funny." I don't think it's funny at all. I have the neoprene covered weights and I have to say that they are ugly both in their shape and their colors. Such a simple object, I'm glad somebody is finally tackling the design of it. Now, back to the dumbbell. You say “too funny.” I don’t think it’s funny at all.

You put a comma in front of a name only when there is a direct address, I believe. So...<br/><br/>"This is my friend Janet."<br/><br/>and<br/><br/>"I'm designing this pillow for you, Janet."<br/><br/>Make sense? Grammar police here! You put a comma in front of a name only when there is a direct address, I believe. So…

“This is my friend Janet.”

and

“I’m designing this pillow for you, Janet.”

Make sense?

Every time I try to explain the example you linked to, I start rambling too much so, for the sake of brevity, let me just put it this way: you would say President George Bush instead of President, George Bush, right? I know it's not strictly the same thing, since "President" is a formal title, but the principle is the same. Thanks again. Thanks so much for reading my comment!
