Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

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.

resumed. "We come to this Earth as to a school. We come
to learn our lessons. In our first attendance at school we are
in the lowest class because we are ignorant and as yet have
learned nothing. At the end of our term we either pass our
examinations or fail them. If we pass we go on to a higher
class when we return from the school vacation. If we fail,
then we return to the same class as that which we left. If
we fail in perhaps one subject only we may be permitted
to go on to the higher class and there also study the subject

This was speaking to me in language which I well under-
stood. I knew all about examinations, and failing in a sub-
