Excellent statistics, as usual. I will
bookmark this thread and send merit when I have one.
I think
someone is still hungry, can you create the same statistics for Meta? How many merits top 200/500 merit receivers have received in Meta

You can see this data in this sheet

I will say everybody has his own area of contributions and gaining merit in Meta does not make it circle. Analyze the data, you will find few user received 0 merits or very few merits in Meta but their merit are coming from other single subboard. (like WO thread)
@LoyceV, Though I was
first to attempt this statistics but I will be never able to match you in presenting the data.
Thanks for posting the top 50 exclusion list. That's the first time I have got ahead of TMAN in a long time.

You was ahead of TMAN in below list too.
