Warming up your Engines????

What do you guys think?

I have always been a firm believer in warming up my engines before I start my daily driving. My normal routine is to start my car 5 minutes be for I depart in the summer and 15 minutes in the winter. I have been doing this for many years now and my engines have shown no internal wear.

I since have heard from a couple sources that warming up an engine too much can be bad.... I would like to get opinions on this issue from members here before I permanently stick to my temp cycling regiment.
Thanks!
Adam
