Look, you have no right to declare yourslef over people with authority, I am getting tired of how people do that.

Oh yeah? Well, you just tried to insult the intelligence of the kid with the highest average in Mr. Bradford's class, to my knowledge.

... who is also one with a grade in Alg/Geom that he doesn't want to talk about...

Okay, okay, so that balances it out, but I still have, I think, one of the highest averages in science. 99.39%, for the last interim. So I'm not smarty pants in all categories, but I even myself out. And my math grade is coming up, which is good.

Many astronomers couldn't make it because they were involved in other research/experiments, etc. Sometimes it's just not possible. This was an extremely important decision. The IAU should have done all it could to ensure that all or most of the astronomers could participate.

Actually, after the vote, many scientists said that they "didn't care" and had other more important things to do. It was not that they could not make it, its that they didn't care to.

" Oh yeah? Well, you just tried to insult the intelligence of the kid with the highest average in Mr. Bradford's class, to my knowledge."

Ms. Hinkle would be more impresive... Not that 99.39 isn't....
muahahahahahahahaha sorry. modhax.

"Impressive" has two "s"s.

And yes, Pluto's planethood is very important in that it sets a precedent for any possible planets discovered in future.

I think that, at the very least, Pluto should remain a dwarf planet, but the "dwarf planet" status should become a subcategory of planet. It is grammatically wrong to say that a dwarf planet is not a planet.

Why does everyone insist on spelling grammar wrong? I don't understand it.

Actually, whenever I spell it like that, everyone corrects me. I'm the only one I know who spells it thataway. But, if you insist that I am everyone.....
