comma

[FW]

Is there any difference between:
1-Everything you said to dissuade him from leaving was useless.
and:
2-Everything you said, to dissuade him from leaving, was useless.

I do not see any difference in meaning between the two sentences. I would leave the commas out.

The seconds relegates the part, but I don't see why. ;-)
