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.

their company before continuing my journey across India
to Kalimpong. Kalimpong was full of Communist spies and
newspaper men. New arrivals found their life was made a
misery by the endless, senseless questioning, questions
which I never answered but continued what I was doing.
This penchant of Western people to pry into the affairs
of others was a complete mystery to me, I really did not
understand it.
I was glad to get out of Kalimpong and move into my
own country, Tibet. I had been expected, and was met
by a party of high lamas disguised as mendicant monks
and traders. My health was deteriorating rapidly, and
necessitated frequent stops and rest. At long last, some ten
weeks later, we reached a secluded lamasery high in the
153
Himalayas, overlooking the Valley of Lhasa, a lamasery so
small and so inaccessible that Chinese Communists would

For some days I rested, trying to regain a little of my
