Nifty,
Thank you for the additional info as some of what you've mentioned I did not know.
The only place on a rifle I use wd-40 is in the bore, barrel or outside metal work. I am also very careful to not get it on any other parts of my rifle.
For any mechanical parts such as trigger,bolt,etc some form of lubricant designed for firearms should be used.
I do remember reading about a number of people who have had some negative results. What I also know is that a lot of folks can tend to misuse a product....or basically operator error. I'm quite sure along with the cautions there have also been many successful users of the product when used with prudence.
As you've pointed out however there is a caution and I didn't make that entirely clear.
