    At risk of sounding like a grammar nazi, Michael's not correct. I is a subject pronoun and myself (or me) is an object pronoun.

    In the example you gave, it's a comparison, so it can be ambiguous if the latter is an object or a clause, which can have an implied predicate. For example, both "more exciting than me" and "more exciting than I (would be)" are correct, with the latter example having an implied predicate (i.e. "would be").

    In the article, I is explicitly used incorrectly as an object pronoun. General rule of thumb, if you can't add a predicate to a subject pronoun like I or he, then you should be using an object pronoun like me or him instead.

    /rant... the Misses woke me up too early on my day off, so I'm cranky haha.
