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.

mountainside they rushed, to end in a noisy heap by a
Chinese barracks. Lights flashed on, rifles were discharged
into the air, and soldiers ran wildly around, fearing attack
from the monks of Lhasa. The commotion soon subsided,
and the night was peaceful and still once again.
The old lama laughed softly, and said, "How strange to
me that the people beyond our land cannot understand
astral traveling! How strange that they think all this is
imagination. Could it not be put to them that even changing
one's body for that of another is merely like a driver chang-
ing from one automobile to anothe? It seems inconceivable
that a people with their technical progress should be so
blind to the things of the spirit."
I, with much experience of the West, replied, "But
Western people, except for a very small minority, have not
the capacity for spiritual things. All they want is war, sex,
sadism, and the right to pry into the affairs of others."
The long night wore on, we rested and refreshed our-
