When you use the clutch are most folks pressing all the way to the floor?

I have began to just press until I feel the clutch disengage, and then I shift.

Maybe that will increase longevity?

Im pressing the clutch down a good 80% to the floor. I feel a lot better about driving, having my CSC replaced though.
