Hmm! What you say makes sense. A question, though: if I was to put in a
conjunction, would the comma become obselete? Also: would replacing that
comma with a colon rectify the problem?
Thanks!

Matthew, This is a minor crime, compared to what the writers of the
questionnaire were guilty of, but in number seven, "Avoid excessive use
of the exclamation mark, it gives
writing an air of childish innocence which is undesirable in this case,"
you have a comma splice. There should be some kind of conjunction after
"exclamation mark."
