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

I will post results Saturday.

did not know where they wanted to be. For a time they
wandered around, sniffing like vacuum cleaners, "reading"
all about people who had previously used the rooms, then
they fell silent and were soon asleep.
I rested the next day, and looked round the Airport.

The "Duty-Free" Shop interested me, but I could not see
the use of it; if one bought an article one had to declare it
somewhere and then pay duty, so what was the gain?
The Swissair officials were helpful and efficient, the
formalities were soon completed and all we waited for was
the plane. Midnight came and went, one o'clock. At one-
thirty we were taken aboard a big Swissair plane, we, and
our two cats. People were most impressed by them, by their
self-control and composure. Not even the noise of the
engines disturbed them. Soon we were speeding along the
