Have to disagree on the comma, killer. It is way over used and getting more so every day. The semicolon is almost already dead.

And that’s too bad; experience has shown that the semi-colon is quite useful.

You and your ilk are the reason semicolons are doomed. You could have used it, but nooo, you play favorites and just put a period in and capitalize the first letter of another sentence.
