This is fascinating, suddenly everyone of Mike's posts states that the
AC neutral line is electrically at the same point as the AC ground.

Personally I'm looking forward with interests to the responses,

grounds and neutrals are wired, then get back to me. If you live in an older
house, chances are that they're hooked to the same bus!
