I'll always consider Pluto a planet - because, for me, it always has been.

True, but then for millennia we "knew" we lived in a geocentric solar system. 'Course, back then if you spoke out too loudly about a heliocentric system you got burned at the stake... Nowadays if you say Pluto's not a planet you only get roasted. Personally, I'm just waiting for the day when they find a TNO that's just slightly bigger than Pluto. It'll be interesting to see if they call it a planet. Patrick
