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.

papers for it to
enter France?"
"Yep," he said. "Been waiting three months to get
them. We have been keeping you on ice and letting you
earn some pocket money. Guess I never thought you were
living in a dump like this, though."
He got up and motioned for me to follow him out. At
the door he had his car, complete with girl-friend. "You
drive," he said, getting in the back with the woman. "I
will direct you." At what appeared to be an abandoned
airfield outside Ludwigshafen we stopped. There, in a huge
shed, was the weirdest machine that I had ever seen. It
seemed to be mainly yellow girders supported on a whole
series of eight-foot wheels. Ridiculously high off the ground
was a small glassed-in enclosure. Fixed on the back of the
contraption were a whole series of lattice girders, and an
immense steel scoop. Gingerly I climbed up to the seat.
"Sa-ay," yelled the American, "Don't you want the hand-
book?" He reached up, and passed me a Manual dealing
with these contraptions. "I had a guy," he said, "who was
delivering a street sweeping truck, a new one. He would
not read the book and when he got to his destination he
found that he had had the brushes sweeping all the time
and he had worn them out. I don't want you wrecking the
road from here to Verdun,"
