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.

Slowly she retraced her steps up the mountain slopes.
The Buddha was, as before, sitting in meditation. "Have
you brought the mustard seed?" He asked.
"No, nor do I seek it any more," she said. "My grief
blinded me so that I thought that only I suffered and
sorrowed."
"Then why have you again come to me?" asked the
Buddha.
"To ask you to teach me the truth," she answered.
And the Buddha told her: "In all the world of man, and
all the world of Gods, this alone is the Law: All things are
impermanent."
Yes, I knew all the Teachings, but the loss of one dearly

would. Certainly sh
