Default Wall wart current draw

One household won't notice much difference, but if everyone unplugged their
wallwarts and turned off (instead of let sit on stand-by) their computers I
bet there would be quite the loss in consumption.

A while back there was a discussion about why wall wart transformers that
were not under load would draw no current. Anyone recall that thread? As
I recall there were some references to the induced currents created by
collapsing magnetic fields etc.

Anyway, I'm trying to either prove or disprove the statement that
unplugging wall warts when not actually using them to power or re-charge
your device will save electricity. My recollection is that it doesn't
matter. Right or wrong?
