April 2020 WOTM final

A record number of contributors this month, coupled with a record number of tickers and Left Alerts.  To be fair, although the number of Left Alert scores has been inflated by the editors choosing to give all contributors to a couple of specific subs equal billing - that's their choice and judgement - but also by a significant number of individual Left Alerts anyway.

Anyway, to business, and relative newcomer oshaughnessy has made it to the top, earning the virtual mug for a month.  Oshaughnessy has been a contender since signing up for NB a few months ago and perseverance has paid off.  Well done Big O, and commiserations to Chip who can]me a close second.  Myke and Max Stars also acquitted themselves and just look at the number of tickers Myke has had published this month - 14.

As usual the links to all the FPs, NiBs and LAs are listed below the table, and the full list of tickers are listed in the Chat room.
