[AccessD] Apologies guys - was Tags.

...I no longer wonder about jc ...I take him in small doses and well 
appreciate the key role he plays here.
...like everyone else, I sorely missed his presence
...and iirc it was a war thread just like this one that sent him off into 
the nether for so long
...would really hate to see that happen again ...I learn too much from his 
posts ...even when he's wrong :)
