quote:HOTPE, I heard the TMT Manager (he said he was the Manager), say what I have posted. He also stated they were working for "a few days" during the hiatus. He looked very embarrassed, frankly. Especially after claiming to be a "tourist", changing his clothes, and getting into a company vehicle to "go to work"...lol.

Thanks opihkao,
I was hoping to get a more definitive answer to my questions, because, I haven't been able to find the answers elsewhere.
Much of what gets repeated is like the old game of telephone, someone whispers a phrase into the ear of the person sitting next to them, then that person tries to repeat it, until it goes all around the circle. At the end, the phrase may be nothing like what the first person said. The name of the official, or some photos of the work done during the moratorium should both be available somewhere. The summit is open to the public so I would think someone would want to show the equipment up there and any work they've conducted.
If you find out anything more specific, I'd appreciate if you'd let me know.
Thanks
Added: I searched google images, "Mauna Kea TMT" and I could only find one image of the construction at the TMT site:

Sure wish Mr. Tom was at liberty to tell us why he was upset with TMT a bit ago. Again, I just share what I know first hand. Been in some very heated discussions recently (with both sides), and do not feel comfortable sharing it here on PW. Nothing would be gained nor resolved, just more banter (nicer word than what really goes on here).
The minutia doesn't phase me (and there's a lot I won't bother sharing), it's the overall problem this could cause for our entire State/Illegal State/potential Kingdom/Nation, whatever the hell we are these days.
PaulW & Frank, not Waikiki! Add OHA, Pohakuloa, Haleakala, Mauna Loa, Hualalai (oh wait, multi-million dollar homes already there), Kalaupapa, Hana, the Pali Lookout, Iao Valley, Haena, Kalalau Valley, Waimea Canyon, and for God's sake, can we please have Lana'i back?
OK, pau now.
JMO.
