I'd also keep in mind that the catalogue isn't replacing Yahoo's 
archive of the group.  If someone is interested in a thread and finds 
some frivolous posts from the thread missing from the catalogue, they 
can always use the post numbers to go back to the original source.  
When you avoid the horrible search engine and go straight to the post 
number box, Yahoomort is actually quite helpful.
