Posts 25 and 33 (or 34) are more relevant.
Post 25 mentions the temp at 83-84 degrees and stable, with no load and idling that would be as normal as one could expect surely, particularly if fresh coolant was used?
Post 33/34 mentions 'econ on or so I thought'. Means the heating was on, therefore drawing heat away from the engine, even over a 50 mile drive I would suggest this has the potential to draw the temp down by 5 to 10 % (based on my own current car as well as every car I've had in the past). It definitely slows the warm up time. If the econ was in fact off, as there appears to be doubt, the rad fan operation too, will reduce the coolant temp.
