that's my favorite sig line for me, unfortunately, given the current levels of paranoia and stupidity i haven't wanted to bet on peoples sense of humor or ability to realize the difference between a joke and a "real" threat. it's gotten somewhat ugly here in the states, sadly the terrorist did far more damage to our society than they could have hoped for. i'd even say the cultural damage has/will exceed the dollar damage, although that's rather steep as well when you consider the money being wasted on high tech toys, the diversion of people from more useful work, and the cost of all the "security" measures. many people are now willing to give up the most basic freedoms and human rights in the misguided hope it will make them more safe, never realizing that they are making themselves and others victims, and not doing much to stop people anyway. i'm working on a new sig, something like "what can you do to fight terrorism- you can make sure we don't give up our values and freedoms for an illusion of security and you can encourage the government to stop harassing arabs and making more enemies, and proving that some of "us" do hate "them". please send all flames off list. sorry for the off topic, but i have to admit to being afraid, not of further terrorism but of governmental encroachment of human liberties.
