You know what, your right, I tried to do what the thread starter discribed (pushing clutch half way down)....I can not do it. It just seems way too close to engauged to attempt.

Good Driving is not an Art or Natural Ability, it's a Skill to be learned and you don't learn by developing sloppy habits.
Also, your described method of shifting will cause premature wear to the synchros - you should not pressure the stick until the clutch is disengaged. Drive as you wish, it's your car, but I won't be the only one to say I told you so when you're paying for a repair which could have been avoided...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
