"Create a list of people who want to receive database tips via email" is almost a tautology at this point, but seems like a reasonable objective. Also is a good way to weed out people who want just a 1-way relationship. I, for one, wouldn't care about not distributing my knowledge to people who aren't even willing to drop their email in exchange. Those people want something but aren't willing to give me anything - that feels really greedy. Building an audience is incredibly difficult. People who don't want to be in my audience - I'm totally fine if they don't get access to my stuff.
