    So I was testing this Nebbers idea out yesterday and I calculated on my spreadsheet how many I would get as a test, and for a laugh I added a line to the bottom of the MMs data that I import to see it's effect on my various other tables/graphs.
    Well... we are just moving to the highest Tier of Covid Restrictions here this weekend so I might as well get used to filling my time!
    Anyway, having been pushed into guessing my rank for Nebbers I thought that it might be amusing - if only for me - to publish my predictions just so I have something to really look forward to in Lockdown - Namely "Just how wrong could I be?"
    So with that, here are the predictions from my panel of experts ;-)

    MM Type Nebbers
    Many 53
    RankP 300
    RankT 3
    RankC 14
    #Maxwell 80
    #TeraMiRB 49
    #MiRB 12

    Ooh! I just can't wait!

    BTW Bok , if you do ever find the time to do this one (and I'm not nagging you here), could you please put it above SubClanks and Clanks on the MMs table, as it is probably slightly less volatile than those two.

    I kind of got it working yesterday, btu oly for the main projects. The subproject data is giving me fits due in main to cpid changes leaving orphaned data in the subproject table.

    I may just implement it for main data only for now.

    I suppose that would make it all the more mysterious and intriguing when you added them later!

    It has just occurred to me that it could be fun to confuse Nebbers even more by adding some additional (arguably missing) ones like 2,500 5,000, 7,500, 75,000, 7,500,000, 75,000,000 etc.
    It would also differentiate it a bit more from Squarepants.
    I doubt many Boincers would get many of these though as I suspect most people would not stop on those, but it might give some interesting temporary rises and falls in the number of Nebbers as they 'pass through', which could keep it interesting.
    Just a thought.
