On the other hand you have teachers and parents correcting kids when they correctly use "Fred and me". It is not always Fred and I. In your example it is, but, for example, "He gave the tickets to Fred and I" is NOT correct. It is "He gave the tickets to Fred and me". The "trick" to knowing what to use when is the sentence should make sense if you take out "fred and". "He gave the tickets to I" is clearly incorrect.
With that said... I tend to have poor grammar when posting on message boards and will likely get caught by the grammar police soon.
