Poll tools for 95-99 Head Gasket problems?

I keep seeing messages here relating to a huge problem with head gaskets on some of the 2.5l engines. But of the 8 friends who have OBW's - all 97 or 98 - only one has had the problem, at 165K miles. Mine has 139K, and another friend has 192K. At least four of them have had camshaft or other seals replaced, but only the one has had head gaskets, and at 165K miles they're not complaining.

 

Are there poll options available on this site so we could determine how many vehicles of the population actually have this problem? I can't tell if it's really a big problem, or just a small group of people who are understandably upset and are venting?
