I doff my hat at you, Sir......and will be broadcasting this axiom at every opportunity :-) Ps you could have also mentioned Ludwig Van Beethoven in your list, who gleefully carried on composing whilst he was going deaf, or Handel and Schumann who were clearly clinically and chronically depressed, and Winston Churchill, who if reports of his diet are accurate took on the Nazis whilst he was a functioning alcoholic.
