A question about breaking in a new engine

Hey I just read this post on the DIY section that says it is good to run the engine hard to break it in because it helps the piston rings seat properly.

1. What thoughts do you guys have on this???
2. How (and for how long?) did you break in your enginer??
3. And how soon was your first oil change??

Why yes.... I AM a rocket scientist!

I kept it under 4k and varied the rpms until 1200 miles. Then I let her rip =) Also, I changed oil at 1200 miles.
