I simply have two questions about my signature and private messaging and then I want to talk about 9/11.

First things first, how would I know if the messages that I am sending are not going through? For example, if I send a message to someone how do I know he got it?

Second, can everyone check the link in my signature. I am not sure if it works right now. I keep clicking on it and it says it doesn't work but some of my friends said the link works, while others said it didn't.

Okay, now to my 9/11 discussion. Do you Americans think we are safer then before 9/11? Do you think another terrorist attack can happen this year or in the near future? If so, do you think it will be as bad as 9/11?

Your thoughts.

I don't know about the personal messages, never sent any.
The link doesn't work.
I think more aware of security vulnerabilties and more watchful of terrorist threats is a better way to put it than safer. The chances of being killed in a terrorist attack are remote and have been. I don't expect another attack like or on the same scale as the attack of September 11, 2001. I think a series of smaller attacks similar to those in Iraq and Palestinian terrorism in Israel is more likely.

*agrees*
The risk from terrorism is still neglible compared to natural disaster, disease, traffic and gun accidents, work related injuries and so on. To make a country safer huge investments in those areas are far more useful.

I'm surprised the link didn't work. It suddenly works on mine, hopefully a few other people let me know if its working or not.

Anyways, yeah, I don't think we're going to have another terrorist attack like that of 9/11. Maybe a smaller one though like the London Bombings. It would seem pretty easy to do that now because all of the security measures in train stations are laxed.
