Spot on Musket. That's what I guess I believe too. But who am I to condemn someone for doing what he enjoys, in a way that makes it possible for him to do it? Encouragement to drop the crutch, rather than condemnation for using it, might yield better results IMHO.

And I agree, he's a truly nice guy - if only he could break the shackles he imposes on himself, who knows what level his performances might rise to?
