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

the shrieking wind pressed our robes tightly against our
shivering bodies. At the side of us away from the wind our
robes streamed out like Prayer Flags, leaving us chilled to
the marrow, threatening to pull us over the precipitous
mountainside.
As we looked about us, leaning heavily against the wind
to maintain our balance, we saw the dim lights of Lhasa
