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.

where the journey ended at Verona. Frontier Guards
stopped us, made a show of inspecting the goods, then waved
87
us on when a little package was placed in their hands. Once
a police car raced ahead of us, stopped suddenly, and caused
me to really stand on the brakes. Two policemen dashed at
us with drawn revolvers. Then, on production of certain
papers, they backed away, looking very embarrassed and
muttering profuse apologies. My new employer seemed to
be very pleased with me. "I can put you in touch with a man
who runs trucks to Lausanne, in Switzerland," he said, "and
if he is as satisfied as I am, he can pass you on to someone
who will get you to Ludwigshafen in Germany."
