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.

the sanctuary of the mountains,
was Peace. Peace in which to work to safeguard the future, to
preserve the Ancient Knowledge, and to prepare for the time
when Tibet should rise again and be free of the aggressor.
Millions of years ago this had been a flame-spewing
range of volcanoes erupting rocks and lava over the chang-
ing face of the young Earth. The world then was semi plas-
tic and undergoing the birth-pangs of a new age. Over
countless years the flames died down and the half molten
rocks had cooled. Lava had flowed for the last time, and
gaseous jets from the deep interior of the Earth had ex-
pelled the remnants into the open air, leaving the endless
channels and tunnels bare and empty. A very few had
been choked by rock falls, but others had remained intact,
glass hard and streaked with traces of once-molten metals.
From some walls trickled mountain springs, pure and
sparkling in any shaft of light.
