   yes... maybe my response would have been better written as   
      
     "I" did something. "me" can't do anything.   
      
   i dunno... my mother used to get me with that saying when i'd use the wrong   
   form... then i learned to flip them around or shorten them and see if they   
   made sense... for example:   
      
     he went to the store with she and i.   
      
   flip/short   
      
     he went to the store with i.  <- wrong   
     he went to the store with me. <- correct   
      
   so the original above should have been   
      
     he went to the store with she and me.   
      
   but that's still not right... so another flip/short...   
      
     he went to the store with she. <- wrong   
     he went to the store with her. <- correct   
      
   so now we have the proper form which would be   
      
     he went to the store with her and me.   
      
   or have i really frakled that up being sans c0ffee and having only ~5 hours of   
   sleep?
