I haven't been a member of this site for very long, but long enough to see that you are a big part of it! It's good to see you back but I don't think that an apology to A.org is necessary - you needed a break, so you took a break - good on you. I applaud long term members' courage in leaving for either a while or good (quite a few recently) but I am puzzled by the guilt that they seem to feel - surely people aren't shallow enough to hold it against you so why worry yourself so much?
I think someone said you one of two people with over 5000 posts - wow! It is good to see anyone with such commitment back.
