Subject: [LRflex] COMPLETELY OT and silly : Why men don't write advice

Dear Walter
I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for a stroll
leaving my husband in the house watching TV as usual.
I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when I realized my
trusted M8's back-panel display showed heratic figures and the camera
didn't operate properly.
I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I
couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbor lady
making mad passionate love to her.
I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve
years.When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he went into
the back yard and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but
found her unconscious. He'd carried the woman back to our house, laid
her in bed, and began CPR. When she awoke she immediately began
thanking him and kissing him and he was attempting to break free when
I came back. But when I asked him why neither of them had any clothes
on, he broke down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the
past six months.
I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job
six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed
and worthless.
I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has
become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him
anymore.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sheila X

Dear Sheila:
An M8's display going astray after a camera being stored for to long a
period of time can be caused by a variety of faults with the camera.
Start by checking that there is no debris on the sensor. If it is
clear, check the software version and update to the latest one, using
the Mac version for virus safety.
The battery might also be an issue. Have you checked it on another
body? If not, let it run dry and charge it to the full before anything
else.
If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the
camera itself is faulty, causing the display to show erroneous values
even if the camera still looks fine.
A mighty CLA should in that case solve it all, but don't expect it to
be a swift move as it requires lots of careful and lengthy attention
from dedicated and expert people who can only communicate, mind you
they're clever and educated, in German.
I hope this helps.
Walter
ps just reread this. actually i think walter has a point.

pps: David and Brian - you may unsubscribe me if this adaptation is
too much, I won't complain, I knew it was silly, and had warned you.
Season greetings all the same to all. ;-)
