Tonks again:

I know that I went to school in the dark ages. I was taught the same 
thing for the test of I or me.  BUT... and here is the difference... 
you always put the other person's name first. So it is either Mary and 
I, or Mary and me.  The waitress brought coffee to Mary and me.

The dark ages were before the *me* generation, so that may have a 
bearing on it all.  The concept of putting others first was in the 
language and in society.

And back to Yahoo... now there is this strange thing that breaks up the 
page and you can't see half of what you have typed.  Pulling hair out.

What has Yahoo done now? It wasn't that way yesterday, was it?
