After I posted this, I thought of another building criteria that is (IMO) very
stringent - as per the above, but using no _more_ than n pieces.

Good question. I don't think it's something that needs 'proactive action'(1)
just something to keep aware of when creating criteria - make more options that
aren't web-related, or perhaps, change the structure somewhat (he types
furiously as a new idea comes to him)
Rather than have a straight list of criteria, how about catagories (ie
'building' 'community support' 'cad-related' 'web-related' 'awards and
recognition') and say that a LMM must meet 90% of the criteria in all but
one or two catagories?
Oh, and a suggestion from the depths of my twisted mind - how about "Certified
Maniac" instead of "Master Maniac" - I've always wanted to be a certifiable
maniac. ;)
