A little late now, but just for the record I had no problem with Brian's username at all but agree on occasion it might have caused some confusion! Incidentally, quite a few professional astronomers live in Puna and several in HPP for that matter, six that I can think of offhand and there are probably more that I don't know. There used to be many more up until a few years ago. And of course there are dozens of observatory staff living in Puna (engineers, technicians etc).
Reminds me of an incident many years ago when I was supporting a couple of observing runs at the summit - there were three other "Toms" in the control room with me (all astronomers!) which made for an interesting night, especially when we received a phone call and the caller asked if they could speak to Tom...
