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.

was the rumble of an undercarriage being lowered, followed
shortly by the screech of the tires touching the landing
strip.
My thoughts turned to the occasion of my first entry to
England, and my treatment by the Customs official. "What
will this be like?" I mused. We taxied up to the airport
buildings, and I was more than a little mortified to find a
wheel-chair awaiting me. In Customs the officials looked
hard at us and said, "How long are you staying?"

"We have come to live here," I replied.
There was no trouble, they did not even examine our
belongings. The Lady Ku'ei fascinated them all as, serene
and self possessed, she stood guard on our luggage. These
Siamese cats, when properly trained and treated as beings,
not just animals, are possessed of superlative intelligence.
Certainly I prefer the Lady Ku'ei's friendship and loyalty
to that of humans; she sits by me at night and awakens my
wife if I am ill!
Our luggage was loaded on a taxi, and we were driven off
to Dublin city. The atmosphere of friendliness was very
marked; nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I lay upon
my bed in a room overlooking the grounds of Trinity
College. On the road below my window, traffic moved at a
sedate pace.
It took me some time to recover from the journey, but
when I could get about, the friendly officials of Trinity
College gave me a pass which enabled me to use their
grounds and their magnificent library. Dublin was a city of
surprises; one could buy almost anything there. There was
a far greater variety of goods than there is in Windsor,
Canada, or Detroit, U.S.A. After a few months, while I was
