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.

yak began to bellow as if sensing that a new day would soon
be upon us. Five in the morning Tibetan time. About
eleven o'clock by the time in England, I judged. Gently I
nudged the old lama who was dozing lightly. "Time we
went into the astral!" I said.
"It will be the last time for me," he replied, "for I shall
not return to my body again."

Slowly, not hurrying at all, we again entered the astral
state. Leisurely we arrived at that house in England. The
man lay there sleeping, tossing a little, on his face there was
a look of extreme discontent. His astral form was encom-
passing his physical body with no sign yet of separation.
"Are you coming?" I asked, in the astral.
