Do you ever use standby on your transponder?

I have had landing aircraft report a near miss when I left my
transponder on accidentally..
At my little Class D airport our rule is standby to warm it up - it does
take a few minutes (at least mine does) - and on upon takeoff.

I don't. It stays on 24/7 (you know what I mean). 1200 unless given a
code. It effectively prevents "Maule, check your transponder" unless
using the wrong code.

I make no attempt to turn it off or go to standby while taxiing or
anything else. I've never been asked to go to standby or otherwise
questioned.

This has been discussed before but I'd suggest the everyone can do this
without causing a problem for anyone.
