Well, I had a screen capture of the Spacedock scene from Star Trek III online at Flare Upload. However, Flare Upload has fallen to the forces of cyberevil. I'll try and find it (or recreate it) this evening and post it, but I'll do that ONLY if people actually want to see it and risk re-igniting this topic of passion, fire, and damnation.
As far post counts go, remember this: it's not the number of posts that one makes, it's the quality of the posts that one makes. I'm member 29, and it took me two years to break a thousand posts. Of course, I was absent from the forum for about 18 months of that.

Well, it doesn't really matter whether you are a new member, member, or senior member anymore, does it? The whole point of becoming a senior member was so that you could change your status line. Now, someone else has to do it for you. AFAIAC, whether you become a senior member in a few months or a few years is pretty moot now.

In my defense, Captain Mike, I was unaware of the "edit" feature when I first began posting. You might notice that I have used the edit function at least thrice now. Also, I am curious as to what your definition is of "talking to himself."
Also I do not know how many posts it takes to reach the august rank of "Senior Member;" I do not post merely to inflate my total number of posts.

As I recall, this debate about the Spacedock "ship" became pretty heated (I even remember Veers yelling that he and some other new member should kick all the others back to some other obscure web board...). Oh, well. I personally just read the posts on Flare and reply here and there.
Back on topic, is the shot of where the "ship" appeared in ST III and disappeared in ST IV in the same location?

Heh heh. Funny you remembered that, Ace. I dug up my quote: "I say, Mim, how about you and I get some AT-ATs and pummel these insobourdanant members back to the TNO Forums? Anyone with half a mind can see that that floating dirt barge is in fact a ship."
And then TSN got all mad and said I thought it was a ship because "I have half a brain." Then Mr. Christopher got pissed because he was a senior member and I wasn't at the time, so he had more experience.
Sol System remarked, "What's with all this EFH bashing?", which had to do with TNO a lesser version of Flare.

Like "The Next Generation" era Federation, I observed this forum before I made first contact in order to have a better grasp of the unique flare culture before I introduced myself to it. Perhaps I should have figured out the edit function before joining . . .
Anyways, one of the threads I observed with bemused interest was the one I asked about here. I found it curious that some posters were absolutely certain that the object was a ship without conformation from one who truly knows. I started this thread because I was wondering if a consensus was ever reached.
Under no circumstances did I intend to restart the debate. Maybe I did not observe enough; have I created a monster I can no longer control?

I don't recall making that comment in anger. I'm pretty sure it was just sarcastic mocking. I do that from time to time, you know... :-)

As far as talking to one's self goes - don't sweat it. I talk to myself all of the time: in my bedroom, in the kitchen, on the bog . . . erm yes, that's quite enough of that me thinks! Given you all a bit too much insight into how I think of a plot for my stories and "act" them out. HEHE!
Just remember these four simple stages about talking to yourself and try not to get to number 4, which I'm not sure whether I've reached or not.
Stages of going mad; 1. Talking to yourself. 2. Answering. 3. Having an argument with yourself. 4. Losing.
As for Senior Member status - 250 posts. That really should be written down somewhere, I'm getting tired of sounding as though I'm talking to myself!
-You talking to me?
No.
-Oh . . . right . . . sure?
YES!
