Pretty much, yeah. There's about 26.8 million developers in the world. Assuming 5 million read this story (not everyone speaks English) and 0.01% of people is a bit unhinged then you've got 50,000 unhinged people, and only about 0.006% of those 50,000 (or 0.00006% of total) need to be unhinged enough to actually shoot off an email.
