This list includes people who actually study asteroids and comets as well as planets. But hey we have "experts" that think Pluto and Neptune's orbits actually cross or that arf constitutes an intellectual arguement so why should we listen to people who actually study KBO's, planets, asteroids, and comets professionally? I'm sure anti-american backyard astronomers cultural bias based arguements are also more authoritative.

But hey real science opposes arguements based on authority so why don't we actually discuss the technical issue instead of talking about meds, cultural bias, or just shouting shut up already? It's clear that at least a significant plurality (at least about 1 in 3 that has weighed in on the issue) due get the technical issues, although it's sad that so far it doesn't appear that an informed majority exists.

Regards,
Mark
