I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

sauntered out, locking the door. "Don't you ever get
rattled?" said the American. "Guess you better drive
us."
Marcel had to be fished out of a bar. At first sight of
him I thought his face had been stepped on by a horse.
A second glance convinced me that his face would have
been better if he had been stepped on by a horse. Marcel
was ugly. Painfully ugly, but there was something about
him which made me like him on sight. For some time we
sat in the car discussing terms, then I returned to the
machine to drive it and so become accustomed to it. As I
lumbered round the track I saw a battered old car drive
up. Marcel jumped out, waving frantically. I eased the
99
machine to a standstill beside him. "I've got it, I've got
it," he cried, all excitement. With much gesticulation he
turned to his car-and nearly brained himself on the low-
roofed door. Rubbing his head, and muttering fearso
