[meteorite-list] Size Counts concerning Pluto?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Dirk, all - 

The problem is that there are a whole lot more plutos
which are being discovered.  A whole whole lot more.

I wonder what the public's reaction was when Ceres was
demoted back in the 1800's? It would make a good side
bar for someone.

good hunting,
Ed
