[RFI] LEDs etc

[Patrick]

I've sent CR enough subscription money over the years for them to 
entertain an email from me.  Lately they have tested LED lamps 
(incandescent replacements, Edison based 120vac) with no mention of RFI, 
or radio noise, etc.  They have consistently rated plasma sets highly 
with no RFI mentioned.  It's not on their list.

What would you propose to say in your email to them that might be 
understandable to the staff that screens email?  The meaning of RFI is 
probably not known to anyone but a ham or electronic engineer.
