Default Anti-seize and Spark plugs

This may be a dumb question but, does anybody put anti-seize or anything on spark plugs?
Thanks

Through other work experiences I found it very benificial to apply a little also, like preveously stated, especially in an aluminum head application

I've had better luck with a little engine assembly lube with moly. But yes, if you have aluminum heads you need something to keep them from seizing.

Yup, all the above, PLUS...... on every stainless nut and bolt to keep them from seizing up when loosening them.

would anti-seeze make a difference on older Fords that rust the plugs in place?
