Normal Coolant Temperature?

On another topic, I was told that 80 degrees was too cold, that I should have a hotter thermostat. I have looked at the Owner's Manual (occasionally I do read the directions!) and it is really useless, mentioning only not to drive in the red zone as the car might catch fire!

Can I please have some more opinions of that other gentleman's post? Too cold? What thermostat should I get?
