# Over the last couple of days, to my shame...
...I have actually gone through all 1200 odd entires and counted up the rule-breakers. I'm tempted to release the results of this analysis as a barchart, but I'm a bit reticent for fear of being labelled a sad old twunt.

Edit: I am now also blind!

# don't let is stop you

# Chart

As you can see, after the initial 20% in the first 200 entries, there was a steady marked decline over the weekend. However, the trend now seems to be heading up again...
