Hi All,
I voted with the no camp. Mostly for historical reasons, it was named as a planet, and accepted as a planet for many years. Now it gets demoted because someone picks up a blip much further out and says "what about me". We can hardly resolve Pluto, how much faith do we realy have in resolving the more distant bodies, and what are we going to do if we find oops they were more reflective and just looked bigger (or similar) ....
I mean what exactly is a dwarf planet... its just a crappy compromise... what will they do if they find a realy large body out there, call it an "outer planet" or a "slow planet" (due to the rotation period) or similar...
But that said I wont loose any sleep over it either way.
