Paulw, good evening sir. Yes not much thought, just enough to make it "jmo" though. When I state "LOOKS LIKE" some laws were broken, thats what it looks like to me. This by no means is said by the judge, jury, or exacutioner, only a concerned island citizen.
Aaron you are a champ, sure like the way you can handle yourself on a forum.
The short answer to your three questions you had for me is, NO. I did not include myself in any of the long 7 year TMT process," didn't even no about it." Really was not in favor of the past 8 to 10 Observatories that had been built atop Maunakea the last 30 years. This building of bigger and bigger telescope projects atop maunakea has been going on for the greater part of five decades now. I have not been in favor of any of them, including this TMT project.
P.S. Caltech has helped bring the Keck telescopes to our summit, and now Caltech wants this TMT on Maunakea. In the past decade, how much money has been invested into this CalTech planned desecration of maunakea? In the same decade how many students from the big island have received scholarships from Caltech university? Two very special and unique places, both the "Caltech university and the Maunakea summit". Experiences atop maunakea such as observing space via the Large Telescopes has become very common and almost expected by millions now. Where as the highly revered educational experience that only CalTech can provide or offer remains rare for big island students.
I know of one senior boy in pahoa high this year who has already scored a 2,000 on his SAT, had strait A's for 3 years, skipped a grade, plays 3 school sports a year, gets paid to tutor others in math, and participates in community services. With the inclusion of $1 a year for Caltech land use, Would this young man be CalTech material?
