Well, allow me to bust in on this friendly conversation.  Personally,
I take Jane's side.  Phil is a giant pain in the ass.  The correct
information that he provides isn't worth the aggravation that
he seems to raise.  Why is it that Phil has this ``Holier than
thou'' attitude?  

Phil pretends that he was just trying help.  Phil, my man, it's
in the way that you do things (to quote a song).  If you'd
just said that the yellow on blue plates were no longer 
available instead of  calling Jane all sorts of names and
criticizing her intelligence, things would have been alright.

As I've written before, we all don't have the same priorities.
I think Phil's got a terrible superiority complex which may
stem from having a tremedous inferiority complex.  Else
why would he go through so much trouble to insult and
put down other people, in effect saying, "See, you're
not as smart as I am!"

We welcome your information, but leave you bickering little
criticisms at the office, Phil.
