I've had the honor of visiting with Taike over the last few days on line. He's a fascinating young man, a new father, lives in a land and culture which is rich in history (Laos) and is a well-rounded person with an admirable "World view" of critical issues. Plus, his recent posts here have been "gems". He gets my vote as one of the most unique, valuable members here.

A great guy to know!
