    Thanks for pointing that out beachcomber, such a precise detail is rarely come by. Still not allowing you to tag? Hopefully that will be rectified!

    Whoopee - flickr fixed it ! But only on this photo ... Probably because it was invited (by me) to the "We are all in the gutter ..." group. Evidently that overrides other settings.
