The info collected here is just raw number of tops in use broken down by manufacturer, that's useless to me as it doesn't tell me what else is in the loop. There may be 10 other loops set up exactly the same as 3 loops that had the pump die but I won't know that if that info isn't collected. Is that really so hard to understand?

When I said "question" I meant the question users were doing regarding your topic result.
The main discussion at the forums was that XSPC tops were prone to failure due to some bad design.
People argued that it happened more with XSPC tops due to the market share.

Sorry again if I don't understand your topic but I do understand mine: We will have some pretty raw estimates on market share (don't care about fail or no fail) and it is very useful number to compare to a poll with all DDC failures. Statistically it won't matter if a particular pump was under stress and failed because of it. This could happen with any brand.
