Gee Pam, maybe IF that advice wasn't given in such a
condescending/patronizing manner maybe, JUST maybe the person asking for
advice wouldn't get upset. . .

Instead of chastising someone for taking the advice for someone they
presumed was in a position to know what they were talking about.  Why not
try and offer them some useful advice, instead?  Or does it give you some
kind of an ego boost to point out how perfect YOU are and how wrong
EVERYONE else is?
