47. I think it's really gotta depend on the Woo.

On one end of the spectrum, you have chemtrails, HAARP caused Hurricane Katrina, the Moon landings were fake and NASA bombed the moon to attack the star folks lunar colony (but were stopped by the quick telekenetic advance action of Star Person Incarnate Fran)

...on the other end, you have stuff like 'gluten-free muffins cured my psoriasis'.

I think "woo" is a pretty broad umbrella. Some woo doesn't belong on DU at all, some woo ought to stay in the CS basement, and some woo is relatively harmless, open to debate, or at the very least in the eye of the beholder.
