9. "Is it possible" is an interesting question...

Everything you've posted on DU is stored in the database and is attached to your username, so the answer to "is it possible" is technically yes. However, I don't know how easy it would be to process that information into a useable form (this is Elad's area of expertise). In your case you'd be talking about creating a document containing tens of thousands of posts (or tens of thousands of individual documents), and I don't know how much tinkering would be required to make something like that happen in an efficient way.

So this is certainly an interesting idea but I don't know how much work would be required to make it happen -- I'll address it with Elad to at least find out if it's something that might be worth looking into.
