1. I always use three m's.
But since I just learned that proper etiquette is to use only one space between sentences on internet boards rather than two I may be off in my opinion.

3. The number of Ms is directly proportional to the level of hesitation
one must express over the statement it responds to.

Examples:

Statement: I am the soul of DU!
Response: Hm.

Statement: Washington will win their division
Response: Hmmmmmm.

Statement: Bacon makes any sandwich taste better.
Response: Hmmmmmmmmmm.

There has to be some actual hesitation, though, or no amount of MMMM will work, and a more abrupt response is needed.

Statement: The Cowboys suck!
Response: WTF? Moron!

4. the m's are like the hurricane ratings
each m is an exponential expression of disbelief , suspicion or whatever emotion you are conveying
i demonstrate

"of course the pool boy has to be here every day,those leaves dont aweep themselves!"
"hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
