He is no better than you or I.

He is a better radio man than you or I.

"Me." "No better than... me." Both of you guys flunk fourth grade grammar. What a joke.

Actually, they are right. You can always tell by finishing the sentence:

"He's a better man than you or I are."

not:

"He's a better man than you or me are."

So there you go.

You're right. Objective case. Got me.

I take it back. We were correct.

He is a better radio man than you (are) or I (am). The verb "to be" is understood.

So, in what elementary school are you enjoying 3rd grade?

(Coool! I think I just made a split infinitive!)
