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.

malignant eye. The Chakpori, my Medical School, looked
gaunt and forlorn. From its summit came snatches of an
obscene Chinese song. For some time I remained in deep
contemplation. Unexpectedly, a Voice said: "My Brother,
you must come away now, for you have been absent long.
As you rise, look about you well."

Slowly I rose into the air, like thistledown bobbing in a
vagrant breeze. The moon had risen now, flooding the
Valley and mountain peaks with pure and silvery light.
I looked in horror at ancient lamaseries, bombed and un-
tenanted, with all the debris of Man's earthly possessions
strewn about uncared
