Preheating and other miscellaneous questions

I'm about begin, yet again, to make my sourdough bread.  I feel an aura of peace around me ;-D that I will have great success!  I've read in many places to preheat the oven for about 30-40 minutes (again contrary to what S John says) with the bread stone in the oven.  So what is the easiest way to get the bread on to the stone when it's time?  I've read I could put it on the back of a cookie sheet.  Should the sheet have cornstarch on it or something else?  Is there another, easier, method?  Can I just use my hands?  Gently, of course.  Oh, and should I put the cornstarch on the bread stone before I preheat it?  Think that's it for now.
