The Whole Topic Is Quibling

I think the whole issue of whether Pluto is a planet or not is quibling so I'm doing the same on the topic. Most of the objects in the KB are probably mostly volatile. What was new in the article was that there could be a lot of objects that started out close to the terrestrial planets. My guess is even a Mars type planet would end up like Europa or even D/T/C/T class once in the kuiper belt collecting ice balls with it's superior gravity.

Regards,
Mark
