I'd think we'd still want to do the catalogue.  How many people are
actually going to mail Steve the money and get the CD?  We need
something people can get at with a couple of clicks, for free, or else
hardly anyone will search the archives at all.  After all, a
disappointingly large number of people bring up a subject without even
bothering to see whether it's been discussed in the past few days.

Not that I mightn't still send for the CD!
