2. Apropos names: Your postings will be more likely read if you post
under your real name. Statistically, single-named posters are more
likely to be trolls or lusers; those only posting under acronyms
doubly so.
3. It is required that the "From" header field of your posting contains
an e-mail address. "clowd@nimbus.net.inv" is not because there is no
top-level domain ".inv", but there could be in the future. See also
RFC 5536 "NetNews Article Format".
4. "Solar System" *is* the official name used by the International
Astronomical Union (IAU), and the preceding is the recommended
spelling. However, I grant you that since the (yet unfinished?)
redesign of the IAU Web site, it is even more difficult to find it
there.[1]
There is only one Solar System because there is only one star called Sol,
Latin for English "the Sun" ("Sol" is derived from the Roman deity "Sol
Invictus", "the unconquered sun"[2]; "sun" developed from Old English
"sunne", cognate with similar words in other Germanic languages[3]),
which is the primary of that planetary system. Other planetary systems
ought NOT be called "solar systems".
Use of the name "Sol" can also be found in astronomy software, for
example Celestia. For that reason I prefer the name "Sol System" that is
also found in good science-fiction.

¹ Note that the term "star system" for such a system of celestial objects
around a star or multiple stars, that you often find in popular-scientific
and science-fiction contexts is wrong. The term "star system" exists in
astronomy, but means a system of two or more stars, not planets or smaller
bodies, orbiting each other. For example, the Alpha Centauri System is
correctly named so because it consists of the stars Alpha Centauri A
(Rigil Kentaurus), Alpha Centauri B (Toliman), and Alpha Centauri C
(Proxima Centauri): <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri>

In other words, President Trump is surrounded today by a bunch of
cowards like
JFK who let communists in OUR hemisphere.
If Putin or China threatens to use the atomic bombs on us, the cowards
give in.
dats how they got Cuba.
Trump is surrounded by cowards left and right.
He is not going to give in, but the cowards want to give in.
dat was jfk mistake.
get rid of the cowards.
