I have serious doubts about the legality of packaging copyrighted 
material and selling it, even at cost (though we can't stop 
individuals from copying the posts).

Text searching on a CD will bring up thousands of posts that will be 
eliminated from the catalogue.  Thus, the catalogue should be a much 
better tool for directing readers to posts that are worth reading.
As a result, if we ever want FPs to actually be written, we'll want 
a catalogue.

At least that's my opinion.
