You're right!

The person who first referenced it said it was a "year old thread". When I
looked, I saw a year old date and so took it to be older than it is. The
actual date of a post doesn't jump right out.

However, in one post "SmarthomeJohn" says they found it was the triac while
in another he says they found it was the choke. I would reserve judgement.

Anyways, I got my latest roZetta boards so I'll be busy with that and will
not have time for much else.
