In the interest if twisting tails (probably more Brent's than yours)... which "planet-style features" should have strengthened those arguments? Which of them do not occur on moons like Titan, Enceladus, Europa or Io? Titan's river channels, hills, lakes, atmosphere and clouds are especially planet-like!

There's an amazing range of really cool stuff that goes on beyond the frost line in the Solar System, and it's been a joy to see some of the imagery coming from probes like Cassini and New Horizons, what a great time to be watching
