    Yes, the comma is necessary, to omit it leaves the identity of "Smelly" to chance.

    The one placed after "Yes" is not however obligatory. I&#39;m not saying it&#39;s incorrect, just ostentatious.

    Indeed it adds nothing to the sentence.

    It is frivolous in the extreme, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    I aspire to ostentatiousness.

    I was inhibited as a child-an uncle who owned a punctuation mart willed me a billion assorted commas, periods, colons (regular and semi-), and I&#39;m using them as quickly as I can.

    I think it&#39;s safe to say I&#39;ll never run out; luckily, they don&#39;t take up much space and transport easily enough.

    Semi colons - so sweet, so useful.

    Myself, I give those a wide berth.

    Tho&#39; I probably know how to use them I&#39;m never sure if I do it right in this or that language, I think their uses differ, see.

    Although English may not be your first language, you are a damn sight easier to understand than some who do not have that fall back.
