Whoaaa!
Interesting discussion here, but I do have to ask if you all can be a bit more respectful in your replies to others.
If peopl don't agree with you, or refuse to get a point it does not excuse personal attacks or trolling.
What if they refuse to get a comma?

I can't believe I've read these 10 pages. Wasted an hour of my life.
A serious suggestion

Yes, definitely something sinister about them.
*Sits back and wonders who will get it without Googling*
But at the risk of restarting the thread I'll just say that as a programmer I never display numbers to my users without thousands separators (I do let the OS choose what character to use for them though). Most people do find it harder to spot the difference between:
12,345,678 and 12346788
I also allow my users to enter numbers using letter abbreviations eg;
12.2M (or even 12M2)
For me it's about usability. Some people my be able to read eight or nine digit numbers at a glance but most people can't. There's also no point in forcing users to type loads of '0's when a single letter will suffice :)
