This is what I've done all along, ever since I started submitting, when it's stated that multiple authors are separated by commas, so whenever I submit anything with a Jr., Ph.D. or anything like that, I've already been leaving out the commas. Take care.

As submitters and validaters we should probably take note of this, and not include a comma when the author's name has a Jr., Phd., II, etc. Comments from administrators??? Dave
