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.

In the distance it appeared to be a police truck, or road
blockage. For several minutes I sat by the side of the road
watching. There was no sign of police or soldiers, so I re-
sumed my journey, being very cautious about it. As I drew
near I saw that a man was trying to do something to the
engine. He looked up at my approach and said something
which I did not understand. He repeated it in another
language, and then in another. At last I could roughly
understand what he was saying. The engine had stopped
and he could not make it go, did I know about motors? I
looked, and fiddled about, looked at the points, and tried
the starter. There was ample petrol. Looking under the
dash at the wiring I saw where the insulation had worn
away, cutting off the ignition when the car had hit a bum
