Mike is such a darling! He's incredibly funny and a wonderful friend. I'm so thankful to have met him here on Tribe. I think the world of him and hope life showers him with all things good. He deserves the very best!

P.S. Yes, Mike, you can pay me later :)

The Gecko is a man of words. Some of them provoke you to really think. Some of them beg tears. Some of them leave you laughing for hours. Some of them are misconstrued by the rest of us and echoed back to him in a manner that makes him blush.

The Gecko is a man of action. He's a gregarious and enthusiastic moderator. Most of us would be bored silly if it weren't for the Tribes he's created. He is decisive in a conflict and manages to keep the conversation either intelligent, racy or absolutely incoherent... depending on how many cases of beer he's had that afternoon.

The Gecko is a rockstar. He's got cool in excess quantity. When backed into a corner, he can weasel out with relative ease. Even when the corner is a jail cell and guarded by a huge neanderthal by the name of "Bubba". Most of all, this is a man worthy of respect and I know (guess) I speak (type) on behalf of many (some) when I say he's sincerely (sort of) appreciated by all (most) who know him.
