I've found the quality of competition that Dixie faced on the internet to be outstanding, but based on sheer body of work - I would rate him first in a canter.
I deeply regret that I missed out on a lot of Dixie Porter's nonsense. That was one of the great trolls/posters I only hear stories about - but never saw much in terms of his body of work. Kind of like a Jim Thorpe or Hindoo of trolls.
