I see I"m not going to get an answer from you in regards to the ground loop.
As far as the open neutral is concened, there are a few things to think about. Like I originally posted would you rather know that your safety is working everytime you turn on the switch and risk an open neutral that may or may not cause you shock if it happens depending on the quality of the ground bond. (Human in parallel with copper) Or have a safety system that is only tested when you need it most. (4 wire). The service drop feeding most everyone"s house is a three wire setup, grounded at both ends. We live with that risk everyday. At the turn of midnight from 2007 to 2008 (new NEC) an acceptable method of wiring became improper?
Look I"m not advocating that people not run 4 wire setups, or go against the code. I would certainly advise somebody that is doing a new installation fo follow the current code. I will admit that you annoyed me when you plastered "wrong" all over everything and asserted that were was only one correct way to do the job. Whether you use three or four wire is a matter of which safety compromise you wish to make. They are both proper. Before you get bent out of shape when I said "safety compromise" there are things involving electricity and safety that are a compromise. The safest thing to do is stay in bed or not even have electricity in your house.
Yes by all means, follow the current code and run four wires. But don"t say something is wrong when it isn"t. I will let you have the last word. Good evening and best wishes.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
