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.

treatment under false pretences and now you must pay
for it."
"Comrade Commissar," I replied, "I was brought here
unconscious, and my injuries were caused by the bad
driving of a Russian soldier. I have suffered much pain and
loss through this."
The Commissar thoughtfully stroked his chin. "H'mm,"
he said, "how do you know all this if you were uncon-
scious? I must look into the matter." He turned to the
policeman and said, "Take him off and keep him in a cell
in your police station until you hear from me."
Once again I was marched through crowded streets as
an arrested man. At the police station my fingerprints were
taken once more, and I was taken to a cell deep below the
ground level. For a long time nothing happened, then a
guard brought me cabbage soup, black bread and some very
synthetic acorn coffee. The light in the corridor was kept
