Needle in 7:00 to 8:00 position unhealthy? 200

Ahh, this is the reassurance I was looking for regarding the needle position of the temperature gauge. After changing the thermostat (it was apparently stuck open) I watched in fear as the temperature gauge shot up high in the first 5 minutes, praying that soon the thermostat would open and spare the engine the 200 degree plus temperatures. Of course, it did, and now it seems like the temperature gauge just locks in to the 9 o'clock position, which seems to be slightly higher than it was with the stuck (open) thermostat. Apparently, though, things are back to normal.
