John helped me achieve what I wanted. His RE sample got me to the 
right place after tweaking it a little.

I would like to understand why what I originally had did not work, 
so I can learn better. Will some one show me why my original RE did 
not work? Meaning it did not get the tags as explained above 
previously.
