Which one is longer? The debate continues......................................... ...

See what I did there? Clever aren't I?

So here's the deal... we've got this debate that all started when a post was made in a blog claiming that a certain thread was the longest of all time... which it clearly was at the time, as nothing else came near it in physical length, character count, or word count. There was a reason behind this trivia knowledge, which only I am aware of as of this moment, but... anyway back to the debate. This claim was made and the next day another thread went up to contest this claim that had already been made and researched. The question is... which of these threads are longer?

These are the facts that we know.

1) Juxtaposed next to each other, one is indisputably longer than the other:

Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group for FG Casino Junkies ~share the anguish
~Could this be the longest ever title posted by any one member on forum ~ garden? ...

EDGE: Gambling Addiction...

2) Letter Count:

Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group for FG Casino Junkies ~share the anguish
72 Letters

~Could this be the longest ever title posted by any one member on forum ~ garden? ...
63 Letters

EDGE: Gambling Addiction...

3) There's a 40 character limit in the display area of the subject field and a maximum allowed size of 85 characters:

Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group for FG Casino Junkies ~share the anguish
84

~Could this be the longest ever title posted by any one member on forum ~ garden? ...
85

EDGE: Could This Be...
(This thread has 86, btw... and another in the test forum has 97)

So there you have it! What do you think?

It apparently posts and then it allows you to add the poll topic... who knew there'd be a line to vote already, though! Sheesh! Too bad there isn't quite near this much interest in the American Presidential Election as there is in this debate!

Oh, I think there is. We come here to get relief from the election, bail outs, and everything else in life.

It's about time we had some excitement in The Garden!

Granted, it's a bit sad that this is what gets folks excited, but...

Who's the one with the longest name?

Who's the one that deserves the fame?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Abbey.
