Dumb question: What is the purpose of the Event Log?...and would I ever need it for anything?
You dont need the event log it just logs what you have been doing on your berry. If you want to free up some memory we advise you to delete it every so often.
Yep I've stopped my events from logging with no obvious ill effects.

Correct GM, so do I. The event log is simply a diagnostic tool that can be completely removed from the OS if you want it too. No ill effects will happen. If you want it to stop logging, hit Alt LGLG and clear event log, then uncheck ALL of the boxes by hitting menu button>toggle setting. That's it...
