Logging time as a CFI

Nobody does. What I think is disturbing are those out there who THINK
they know everything inside and out. They are the ones you look out
for.

We were not talking about arcane aviation knowledge, but about a basic
understanding of 14 CFR 61 which as a CFI you should indeed know inside
out.

True, but I am willing to bet that most CFI's who do not read r.a.p are
unaware of the logging rules. It is not that we are better informed,
it's just that certain topics are nitpicked and analyzed to death here
more than others. PIC logging rules is one of them, but I am sure there
are plenty of things we are equally ignorant on.

I have my CFI right now, and I'm flying with a CFII in preparation for
my CFII checkride. Do I log that time as Dual Received, as well as PIC,
or just PIC, or just Dual Received? Also, as a CFI should I be logging
the time I fly with my MEI for my multi rating as PIC, or is that
stretching it?

While we're on the subject, how should I log my students? I have one
who has his private, and is just flying with me to build time for his
instrument rating. Should he log our time together as both PIC and
Dual, or just Dual? I have always thought you either logged PIC or
Dual, never both; but lately I've noticed others doing both, so I
thought I'd just ask.

By the way, if it means anything, I instruct at a Part 141 school.

You realize, of course, that this is a popular oral exam question. :-)

I've been a CFI since 1968 and every day I learn subtleties about Part 61
from reading Usenet and the AOPA forum.

The former is correct (from the OED):

13. a. The imperative hear!, now usually repeated, hear! hear!
(formerly hear him! hear him!) is used as an exclamation to call
attention to a speaker's words, and hence has become a general
expression of approbation or ‘cheering’.
