Do you use the "Analysis Board?"

I've been thinking: is it a good idea to use the analysis board? Will it help me win correspondance games but hinder me in the long run by preventing me from developing my calculation skills?

I've also been thinking if it's just lame to use the analysis board because it's kind of like the "training wheels" for chess. What do you think? Should you use the analysis board or not?
