  Art,
  
For ground operations, regardless of altitude, I pull the mixture until the
  idling engine stumbles and the enrich slightly. There is really no way you
  can hurt the engine by leaning too much at idle and in general, you'll do it
  a whole lot of good. The important point is to be sure that there is no way
  you can forget and try to depart with the mixture leaned incorrectly. Not
  that I'd ever do such a thing.

  You'll have to ask Scott for a more balanced opinion.
