Re: I think we should stop calling them Moons

Problem is...it's just nomenclature. Unlike Super Jovians & Brown Dwarfs which are believed to have formed by very different processes there is no distinctive demark for moons vs. say moonlets. Maybe some could eventually be proved to be collision debris and then named differently, but heck our moon is believed to be a collision debris from a Mars sized impactor. This is as pointless as the "Is Pluto a planet" debates.
