You can log PIC, instructor or not, any time you are either acting as

For Part 91 flights, the non-instructor must be PIC on a flight which
requires two flight crew members if he is not the sole manipulator.

That is correct. My statement was in the context of a question about
safety-piloting (a flight which requires two flight crew members) and in
the context of a reply to a specific posting that claimed you had to be
an instructor to log PIC if you weren't manipulating the controls. I
didn't spell out all the restrictions because I thought it was clear
from the context.

In the future I will respond to questions of this kind by just saying
"read 61.51". Actually that's still a pretty good answer. There's a lot
of misinformation in this thread that can be cleared up in a few seconds
spent reading 61.51.
