[fully body shudder] fake data for any reason is such a horribly slippery slope. i know you’ve been beeminding for years so you must’ve worked out a system that’s working for you but i think anyone trying to create rules like that is in real danger of breaking beeminder for themself forever (and it’s just so philosophically repugnant!). relevant blog posts:

aaaand you just inspired me to turn my “orange is the new red” beemail into a forum post – Orange Is The New Red – because i think that’s the sanctioned approach to maintaining flexibility. and i think it’s quite equivalent without tampering with beeminder’s beautiful gleaming bright line!
