Shortest thread with posts from the most significant Bitcoin developers?

[TPTB_need_war]

I am nominating this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103172.0

Seems the main developers all posted (sans Satoshi, but Hal Finney posted) in a very succinct but important thread.

Can anyone offer a challenger? Perhaps a thread from back during the time when Satoshi was posting?

I am thinking I may learn something from any threads which are competitively succinct and contained posts from the most significant Bitcoin developers.

yep, that's a pretty dense thread with multiple Yoda types - I'm so tempted to post there for posterity (but I wont)

That thread only has 5 developers that posted there. I think we can do better than that.

The OP wants the 'shortest' thread, and that ones only one page long - like a 9 page maths thesis - short, but dense with good stuff!!

Perhaps I should have defined the challenge with a simple equation. Find the thread with the highest value of "main devs or equivalents" / # of posts in the thread, or we could define the metric another way "main devs or equivalents" / # of posts in the thread not made by those "main devs or equivalents".

I am trying to capture those threads which have a high propensity to be important and concise, with a high S/N ratio thus without a lot of side-band yadayadayada.

This one from satoshi is rather short:

A single post thread authored by satoshi would have the highest value according to the above.

Further refinement:

ndevs * ndevs_posts / (nposts^1.33)

where 'n' is "number of"
