  Hi JP,
  On a theme of clogging up the Internet, I tagged you in this:
  http://biztwozero.com/btz/2006/07/16/five-alive-five-juicy-tools-i-cant-blog-without
  because Dennis tagged me, and this was the only way I could find to make contact with you. Cheers.

  Hi David, sorry about that. It is only now I’ve realised that the Contact Me facility was missed out when my blog was resurrected. I will rectify it by tomorrow.

  I’ve had a couple of tags on the 5-tools game already, I will make sure you get the same set…. :-)
