I'd tweak the meaning to be something like "I did X regularly in 
the past and I no longer do it regularly".  E.g. "I used to drink 
a lot of cranberry juice"[*] connotes that I drank it regularly, 
but no longer drink it regularly, even though I might still drink 
it occasionally.  But on the whole, I side with John far more 
than I side with RR on the issue.
