BTW, to all the whom-haters, I say "whom" in casual conversation. It's pretty simple grammar. A fair number of past tense irregularities aside, English has some of the easiest grammatical rules among commonly spoken languages. "Whom" is the object, not hard to remember, try not to look retarded.

This kind of thing shouldn't be hard AT ALL. The difference between who and whom is exactly the same as he/him, me/I, we/us, etc. Earlier someone said that the "trick" to who and whom was replacing with he and him, but why is that a trick? It's just the way the pronoun works. It's not magic, it's not arbitrary, it's not deliberately confusing.
