[78-L] The 78-L was down, it is now fixed.

[Malcolm]

Yeah, we were! I had thought that the list had succumbed to Facebook
and was shut down due to lack of participation/interest. I'm really glad
you got it back up and operational, Ron!
I remember the Thai Slave Girls spam, too. I still have the post around 
here
somewhere.
Nice to hear from old friends and I'm very glad we're back in bidness.
Hopefully more folks will log in over the next week or so.
Have a great Thanksgiving, all!
Malcolm
