Of course it matter. That is the whole point of the post that started this discussion. Without the correct punctuation, the sentence may not be understood or interpreted correctly.

Further examples of how different punctuation changes the meaning:

Mary said, "John is a fool."

VS

"Mary," said John, "is a fool."

and

Let's eat Grandma.

VS

Let's eat, Grandma.
