Sorry, but I have to say something about the whole grammar thing. To be (is) is
a transitive verb and therfore takes a predicate nominative, I, as opposed to a
direct object, me. In addition it is an implied ellpitical phrase as in ... or
was it she and I (who went to dinner). I'm sure people are groaning about this
and rightfully, but Iwent to catholic school and grammar was beaten into me so I
had to repsond or I will go to hell. I DON'T want to go to hell. You've heard
about it; it's a terrible place. OK never again and sorry to Mark for getting
this 2x.
Matt
