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
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.

man and knowing nothing about it? He looked at me again,
and he said, 'Have you no thought for humanity? Are you
not willing to do something to redeem your own mistakes,
to put some purpose to your own mediocre life? You will
be the gainer. The one for whom I act will take over this
hard life of yours.'
"I looked about me. I looked at the body between us, and
I thought, 'Well, what does it matter? It's been a hard life.
I'm well out of it.' So I said, 'All right, let me see what sort
of place I will go to, and if I like it, I'll say yes.' Instantly I

had a glorious vision, a vision so glorious that no words
could describe it. I was well satisfied, and I said I would be
willing, very willing, to have my release and go as soon as
possible."
The old lama chuckled and said, "We had to tell him
that it was not that quick, that you would have to come and
see for yourself before you made a final decision. After all,
it was a happy release for him, hardship for you."
I looked at them both. "Very well," I finally remarked,
"I will come back in a month. If you then have a beard, and
if you then are sure beyond all doubt that you want to go
through with this, I will release you and send you off on
your own journey."
He sighed with satisfaction, and a beatific expression stole
over his face as he slowly withdrew into the physical body.
