But if "and" is a conjunction in this sentence pattern, the nouns or
pronouns it joins together form the subject, and so they ought to be in
the nominative, i.e. "John and I". I understood that to be Hendrik's
point, even if he didn't express it very clearly (perhaps adding some
irony to the thread).
