Inquiring minds would like to know what you do with these emails that isn't spamming?

It's not just emails, I collect all manner of information in local cache so that I can search it.

I haven't done this on this site, but on other places I've used this to identify some subset of people that I want to contact. Superficially, that sounds like spamming but I'm not sending mass messages or advertising or wasting people's time or contacting people that don't want to be contacted.
