Reply by email, filling out this form and emailing it to me.
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

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.

dropped, immune to cold, untroubled by thinness of air, to
the shelter of a high peak, and waited.
The first rays of the morning sun glinted briefly on the
highest pinnacles of rock, turning them to gold, reflecting
a myriad of colors from the snow in the crevices. Vague
streaks of light shot across the lightening sky as slowly the
sun peeped across the distant horizon.
Down in the valley strange things were happening.
Carefully shielded lights moved about, as if on trailers.
The silver thread of the Happy River gleamed faintly,
throwing back flecks of light. There was much activity,
strange, concealed activity. The lawful inhabitants of Lhasa
hid in their homes, or lay under guard in the forced-labor
