The tongue in cheek entirely went past me, and I apologize to you.
The comments, and reference to "reformed drunks," was very much what I've encountered from many in the public sector for years now. So...I reacted.
Please accept my apology.
Blue skies,

My intention was actually
counter to what might be initially read into such a post... as is the case with irony.
My intention was actually to respond to those so quick to write off anyone who's experienced the results of alcoholism, by pointing out that society has allowed someone with such experience to obtain the "top job".
Maybe I should have been more obvious, but that's not in my character!
My own position is far from that which may have been assumed ...
