Haji Gul Moqed should stop her through the idea
Brig. D. I. Marszalek
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.

no old buck from them. Oh! They'll play you up and
string you along if you let 'em. Tell 'em you want a job,
or else!"
That afternoon I hurried off to the heart of London,
climbing the dingy stairs to a ramshackle office in a back
street of Soho. A painted woman with artificially blond hair
and scarlet talons of nails was sitting at a metal desk in a
room so small it might once have been a cupboard.
"I want a job," I said.
She leaned back and surveyed me coolly. Yawning
widely, she displayed a mouthful of decayed teeth and a
furred tongue. "Ooaryer?" she said. I gaped at her blankly.
"Ooaryer?" she repeated.
"I am sorry," I said, "but I do not understand your
question."
"Oogawd!" she sighed wearily. "Ee don't speak no
English. 'Erefillupaform." She threw a questionnaire at me,
removed her pen, clock, a book and her handbag, and
disappeared into some back room. I sat down and struggled
with the questions. At long last she reappeared and jerked
her thumb in the direction from whence she had come.
"Git in there," she commanded. I rose from my seat and
stumbled into a little larger room. A man was sitting at a
battered desk untidily littered with papers. He was chewing
on the butt of a cheap and stinking cigar, a stained trilby
hat was perched on the back of his head. He motioned for
me to sit in front of him.
"Got yer Registration money?" he asked. I reached in
my pocket and produced the sum stated on the form. The
