you guys can be the experts from hell as far as I am concerned
Hey Dubbleyew, tis fine, you do it your way, we will do it the correct way!
Seriously, I think you know what you are doing. Fact is as Jabba pointed out, most pilots have very little understanding of the mixture knob and don't know what they are doing (with it). The crap I hear around the traps about mixture use makes me cringe. Jabba seems to have analyzed the event rather well.
