You mixed two styles in your reply.

We are not talking of bulletted lists.  The case in point (no pun ...) is not a 
grammatical construction in prose anyway, so it's a matter of style preference. 
 I would suggest that an in-line list should have terms separated by a comma 
and the list terminated by a period, even if there is only one term (to 
indicate that none is missing).

My £0.02. ;-)
