I'm assuming they included their own user group - and as subject line 
says, it's not a perl conference.  Blanketting every possible user list 
will also as you say guarantee an attenence.  Somewhere between 3 users 
and, er, however many people tried to sign up to the well-pimped, 
well-funded, large bbc backstage ones (ie. many times more than even the 
bbc can host).  Not great for getting a group of people with something in 
common, if they get the first 2 applicants from a million lists (though 
that could be an interesting conference too).
