Folks, I hope you all realize that this was an attempt to put the planet thing in perspective. Obviously I was not serious, and anyone can see the holes in the reasoning...see where I was going? But I think that what really drives this is that, to some people, the title "PLANET" conveys a special status, a higher ranking in the cosmic-rock 'food-chain'. We live on a planet, so it must be a more 'important' piece of real-estate than a mere KBO or asteroid. This seems to be the underlying reason behind some of the classification criteria, and what I am rejecting outright as truly arbitrary. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
