My personal use of commas is all about the way I would speak. If I have a short pause when I say/read a sentence, I use a comma to show that pause. Certainly not always right, and I do follow the rules you’ve shown, well,,,,, I sometimes over-commatize!

Too many commas can cause lapses in consciousness. (commatose)

Yeah, me too
I could never remember the rules as given to me to memorize, (pause) but I too would "commatize", (pause) (parantheses) (LOVE that word) (close parentheses), (pause) as I went along (drop voice) (end)(period).
