Thanks, that is a good point. My Honda Civic's manual recommended turning on the A/C a few times during the winter to keep it in good working condition but leaving it on all the time? Sounds like it might be good for the A/C but wasteful of gasoline and just robs the driving experience (car drives better with it off). I'll turn it on occasionally but won't drive with it on all the time in the winter.
