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.

I prefer the Lady Ku'ei's friendship and loyalty
to that of humans; she sits by me at night and awakens my
wife if I am ill!
Our luggage was loaded on a taxi, and we were driven off
to Dublin city. The atmosphere of friendliness was very
marked; nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I lay upon
my bed in a room overlooking the grounds of Trinity
College. On the road below my window, traffic moved at a
sedate pace.
It took me some time to recover from the journey, but
when I could get about, the friendly officials of Trinity
College gave me a pass which enabled me to use their
grounds and their magnificent library. Dublin was a city of
surprises; one could buy almost anything there. There was
a far greater variety of goods than there is in Windsor,
Canada, or Detroit, U.S.A. After a few months, while I was
writing Doctor from Lhasa, we decided to move to a very
beautiful fishing village some twelve miles away. We were
fortunate in obtaining a house overlooking Balscadden Bay,
a house with a truly amazing view.
I had to rest a very great deal, and found it impossible to
see through the windows with binoculars because of the
distorting effect of the glass. A local builder, Brud Campbell,
with whom I became very friendly, suggested plate glass.
With that installed, I could rest on my bed and watch the
fishing boats out in the bay. The whole expanse of harbor
was within my view, with the Yacht Club, the harbor
master's office and the lighthouse as prominent features.
On a clear day I could see the Mountains of Mourne, away
in British occupied Ireland, while, from Howth Head, I
could dimly see the mountains of Wales far across the Irish
Sea.
