I think it is worth noting here that it was you, Scott, who chose to challenge phidippus on his views on depression, its impact on someone's "performance levels" and so on, by posting the above remark. You cannot expect to open up a debate without having your own views challenged. And, if you make your case based on the experience of someone with depression, then it's only logical that people are going to ask questions about that person, even if that person happens to be you. Saying that people don't know how long it takes you to write a post, and then, when people want to know the answer, telling them it's not important is not how debating works.
Incidentally, I disagree with much of what phidippus said, but that's a different story.
