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.

overcome his initial suspicion of me. On the old Tibetan
principle that "He who listens most learns most," I let

told me of a recent case where an expensive car had false
panels behind which were stored narcotics. "I am an
ordinary tourist," I said, "and one of the major dislikes
in my life is drugs. Will you have my car examined to see
if any false panels are in it? You have just told me of a
case where they were installed without the owner's know-
ledge." At my insistence, the car was driven to the local
Police headquarters and left overnight for them to examine.
In the morning I was greeted as an old and trusted friend.
They had examined every inch of the car and had found it
to be innocent. The Swiss Police, I found, were courteous
and affable, and very ready to assist a tourist.
I drove on, alone with my thoughts, wondering what the
future had in store for me. More trouble and hardship,
that I knew, for all the Seers had simply drummed that
into me!, Behind
