I have no idea how it ocurred, but it does not surprize me. This
bulletin board is a public medium. Our own particular accounts are
private, but not this. I don't know if DN is monitoring this or they
simply got hard copies from P&Z but I am glad they are looking at it.
This is not a private "chat group" and perhaps this should serve as a
reminder that we need to be aware that there is a broader public that
may take note with what we say. However, out of simple politeness
the DN should have told at least V2020 if not himself, that he would
be reported on.
