It will be interesting to see the results of such a poll.
But keep in mind this should not be a matter of if there have been any problems.... 
It is a matter of potential problems... big problems like fire.
And it is a matter of engineering... Check the safe wiring capacity charts for wire size at potential amps.
Just my 2 cents.
