You know, I think that Russ as both "himself" and as "Todddavid"--along with however many other personas he's created--may have caused a great deal of mistaken perception and potential damage to the reputation of this good town and its good people.
It's obvious that he gets a great deal of entertainment from it because he's always grinning ear-to-ear at the planning board meetings.
I would have a hard time believing that Russ is todddavid.
Simple proof: Russ has been at every pb meeting (I missed #3, but would guess he was there).
todddavid made claims after the first meeting that "The Christ Church lawyer beat VORT's lawyer badly"...His statements were better. He said this. He said that...etc..
Russ was there. The person known as todddavid was either not there and lied about attending, or has the vision of Mr. Magoo and hearing to match (I do not believe anyone in the room thought Wendy Berger was a 'he').
