How many times can I break a chain before it's time for a new one?

I broke my chain last night in two places.
I think it was my fault.

I thought my chain was to long, so I took out a link.
Then I put a some smaller crank rings on it, so I took out another link.
I didn't like it, so put a some larger crank rings back on it,
so I put a link back in.

So that was three times I've taken the chain apart and put back together.
It was only on the third time that I noticed that there was one link different
from all the others.

I thought I read somewhere that once you punch out a pin,
the chain is never the same.

Is this true?

And what did I do wrong?
