What to do, and not to do

I have heard many conflicting theories on EQ mount usage etc over the years, and like to ask for more feedback.

Personally, when I am done, I remove the scope, remove the counterweights, and stow the counterweight bar. I figure less strain and stress on the mount the better.

A friend of mine ALWAYS leaves the entire mount and scope "assembled", and it can go WEEKS without even moving. I know being balanced it SHOULD be fine, but why put extra strain/weight on it anyway!

Thoughts on this?
