So, this is totally OT, I just realized that death threats are the human equivalent to DDOS attacks. To the attacker, it is cheap, writing a letter/email/whatever that threatens someone's life is no more difficult or expensive than a Thank You-note. To the recipient, however, the situation is inverse: When your life is at stake, you cannot afford to not take them seriously, because you do not know how serious the sender is about it. That is a really shitty thing to do to someone.
