    First off, to me, the question of "Who is the best silver dragon?" ALWAYS has "Peelee" as the best answer.

    Second, since you implicitly asked, I did have a methodology for determining the best one, because of course I did. How else would I decide? It was:

    Three primary opportunities for points:
    - That I meant "duration" to cover chronological duration, and also
    - # of strips
    - "Length" referred to # of posts in the thread, and I gave modest extra credit for realizing that me saying "...its by more than I expected, anyway" meant that not all the threads had exactly 50 pages

    No one referred to all three points in a post, but multiple posts mentioned two of the points. Yours was the most concise, which was good! However, Lio45 was the only one to speculate on the "not all threads had exactly 50 pages" extra credit bit, and also provided the most detailed answer. Concise is great, but depth of on-point detail in *this* context? Huge.

    Thank you. Even as I was typing that I was fairly sure I was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what the right answer was. So I stuck with it in hopes I was wrong about being wrong.
