Is anyone missing Pluto like I am

so we just have to stop. We have to find some way of limiting the number of planets. I don’t like that way of approaching science, and many don’t. ........
Alan Stern: Science works through a process of successive approximation. Our whole view of the solar system, its architecture, was turned upside in the 1990s when we discovered this plethora of Pluto-like planets. The fact is that it’s our larger Earth that’s the misfit. Well, that’s jarring. And for some people, they just couldn’t handle it. Some scientists said, well, that’s too many planets. I don’t think I can remember all of the names of those, so we just have to stop. We have to find some way of limiting the number of planets.

It's still there even though a slight misrepresentation has occurred, by anyone wanting to vote having to be decided by a minority at a specific place at a specific time. It's still there despite what we call it. How can you miss it? It takes thorough knowledge of being able to find it in the first place.

Pluto has been my friend for 70 years, but Pluto is still there except for the label dwarf planet. I guess I am not very sentimental. Can't you find a more worthy cause to pursue? Neil

Seriously, if you'd never knew Pluto even existed, would you life be any different?
I miss the 4 food groups. Now there's at least something that effected our daily lives.

You haven't lost a planet. You've gained dozens of dwarf planets.

You place way too much value in a mere label. Pluto itself is unchanged.

Don't worry, Pluto. I'm not a planet either. :(

YES! I miss it all the time!!
