We know that 5000 DMR's were sold (the entire production run); does anyone
know how many M8's have been sold so far?

To me it's kind of like the old "Go to a hospital emergency room and ask how
many people treated there in the last month were in car wrecks.
You'll probably get a skewed picture of how unsafe driving really is."

It's the same on the internet....or in any forum devoted in part to
resolving problems.  People have problems and they post.  People without
problems generally don't take the time to advise the world they have no
problems.

Until we have an accurate count of the number of M8s sold to weigh against
the number with problems I don't think we can accurately call anything a
syndrome.

Just my own two cents worth.
