Isn't that a personal question?
Get your bike up on a stand and watch the derailleurs as you shift through the gears. You will see the pivot points easily.

I agree, removing your chain and scrubbing it frequently may not be good for the chain. Put it in a high gear, turn the pedals with one hand, and hold a rag with the other hand around the chain, and let the chain run through the rag. Lube it, let it sit a few minutes to let the lube work into the chain and the alcohol or water component evaporate, then wipe off excess lube the same way. Sometimes the new lube will bring out more dirt or even rust, which never seems to go away, and then I might lube it a 2nd or even 3rd time.
