Yes, but for us non-hotheads it would be nice to know if I'm hearing 
a wash machine or BPL.  I know little about BPL and what to look for. 
Noise is noise I guess, shall I just contact the power co. and report 
a noisy line or what?  We've been hyped up about this so lets get the 
information out to the field, they know why shouldent we.  Secrets 
only cause rumors.
