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

[Kristjan Saag]

After six weeks with Facbook's 78 groups and a zillion reports of thrift 
store finds (with colourful label pictures - so cute, aren't they) this 
is a relief. Five informative posts in a weeks time on this list is 
better than the pointless flow on Facebook. People don't ask questions 
on Facebook! They only tell us about their acquisitions. And yes, they 
may ask questions: about how much their new acquisitions are worth.
