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.

the Lincoln, and the manager
drove another car so that we had return transportation.

Up the spacious drive of a big house, and three men
appeared. The manager was very deferential to the frosty-
faced man who had bought the Lincoln. The two men with
him were automobile engineers who proceeded to give the
Lincoln a thorough examination. "It has been very care-
fully driven," said the senior engineer, "you may take
delivery with complete confidence."
The frosty-faced man nodded condescendingly at me.
"Come along to my study," he said, "I am going to give
you a bonus of a hundred dollars-for you alone-because
you have driven so carefully."
"Man, oh! Man!" said the manager afterwards. "That
was mighty big of him, you sure made a hit."
"I want a job taking me into Canada," I said. "Can you
help me?"
"Well," replied the manager, "you really want to go to
Vancouver and I have nothing in that direction, but I have
a man who wants a new De Soto. He lives at Oroville, right
on the Border. He will not drive that far himself. He'd be
good. I'll call him."
"Gee, Hank!" said the manager to the man on the
telephone, "Will ye quit yer dickering! and say if you want
the De Soto?" He listened for a while and then broke in,
"Well, ain't I a-telling you? I gotta guy here who is coming
to Oroville on his way to Canada. He brought a Lincoln
from New York. What say, Hank?" Hank babbled away
at length in Oroville. His voice came through to me as a
confused jumble of sound. The manager sighed with exas-
peration. "Well, ain't you an ornery doggone crittur?" he
said. "You can place your cheque in the bank, guess I've
known you for twenty years and more, not scairt of you
running out on me." He listened for a little longer. "00-kay,"
he said at last, "I will do
