It never ceases to amaze me how people still believe it was a 'demotion' and they still think it has to do with size. Even Tombaugh thought soon after his discovery that Pluto was not a planet.
People, get over it, it is a scientific classification - Pluto itself has not changed.
Stand by for what New Horizon may bring and a possible reclassification into something else - thats the nature of science. As we learn more about something we more accurately classify it.
