That's how I got the replacement M8, by calling the president of Leica USA 
directly (one of the LUGers was kind enough to give me his direct line). I 
got the second M8 working by grousing to Stephen Gandy about it. It pointed 
me to Tony Rose at PopFlash. Tony told me to call him if I have any future 
problems with the M8. Tony also told me that the gentleman in warranty 
repairs who ignored all of my calls, emails, and letters has been reassigned 
elsewhere. He's probably now the CEO of AIG.
