Hi Sean, I can't reproduce your issue, causing me to think that you 
could have a blog entry or two in which you might have forgotten to 
remove the tags.

Try this simple test:

1.) Post a blog entry with three tags you've never used before, say: 
Arizona, Arkansas, Alaska (you can post it 2 years or so in the past so 
it's not viewable on the front page.)
2.) Create a new blog entry, don't save it or actually add any text but 
just type the word "A" in the tags field -- you should see three states.
3.) Then go back to your test blog entry and remove "Arkansas"
4.) Then create a new blog entry, type "A" and you should just see two 
states.

By step #4 -- are you still seeing three?

Regards,
Glen
