I think we should gather all this information and then sell it (author quickly ducks and runs after lighting such a huge fire :-) ) Seriously though, gathering it is a great idea and I would suggest adding an option the user may select that says something like "don't contact me for anything", "contact me for more events like this one", "contact me for all NLUG events", "Contact me every day!!!".
