Well, I still disagree; if you mean Scotty, for example, he held the rank of captain but was in the position of chief engineer, but those were fairly special circumstances (stealing a ship and all to run off and save his friend); if the chief engineer is acting as captain (like Trip Tucker did in some Enterprise), then he doesn't have the rank of captain and can't introduce himself as such. So I still disagree. But of course, it's possible that twenty years of watching Star Trek has muddled my brain and I've forgotten something. If so, please direct me to whatever episodes or movie scenes prove me wrong - I want to know.

Also, it doesn't have to be a month - you can ask again as soon as you feel ready. Sorry if I made it sound overly formal and difficult; that wasn't the intention.
