Thanks for your note.  I agree with you that Taoism has had a significant impact on these three countries and it would be good to reflect that.  I'm not sure how best to do that, though (see my note on the Tao talk page).  It seems to me to be somewhat cumbersome to include all those words in the lead sentence of the Tao article.  Perhaps someone will have some suggestions as to an alternative.  05:11, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
