Gosh, Jeffery, thank you. I am having eye opening experience reading
your posts on this matter.

Amazingly, the people on the LUG who had faulty M8 bodies made
excuses for the camera (as in "I have no problem as long as I remove
and replace the battery before every shot", or "Mine sometimes
requires turning off and on a dozen times before the shutter will
work."). The pro photographers on the LUG got great service. The
amateur photographers are treated as nobodies. I had no difficulty
finding others with bad M8 samples. I googled the words "M8 shutter
fault" when my first body crapped out, and got numerous hits. When
the second one had memory card problems, I had no trouble finding the
"fix", i.e., remove and replace the battery before every shot.
Some of those who claim to never have had a problem are the same ones
to say that when their M8/M9 died, the customer service was
wonderful. How would they know that unless they had to return it.
I have never had a Pentax that died on me, and I have had five Pentax
film cameras and now five Pentax digital cameras. And if a Pentax had
died, it would not be something that kept me awake at night for weeks
at a time. There is no worse feeling than paying off a $4,000 debt on
a Visa for a non-functioning camera that is sitting in a drawer.
