Mr. Decker:
"Mr. D as you referred to him in your post, in this case is NOT John 
Dickinson, Moscow city councilman, whose full name is identified in 
his 2020 posts both in the "from" line and by signature, and whose 
email address is johnd at moscow.com.   The johnd to whom you responded 
has a yahoo address.
