For the record, I can remember a few of the people who've had trouble with their 
M6's (and R8's + lenses). All is from memory so pardon any errors:

Tina Manly has had terrible luck: A brken rewind M6 and a shattered shutter R8.
Ferdinand had a bad M6.
Tom Shea had a run of three bad M6's and a bad lens
Ian Stanley has a tampered with NIB M6 that has faulty flash sync and RF wheel 
screwhead marring.
Robert Louzan has a defective NIB 50/2.8 that is repaired, rather than replaced 
under passport (apparantly not left in new condition)

Anyone else remember some more history?
