Ok, the URL points to a graph.  The vertical legend of the graph represents
# of players.  What is the horizontal legend (there isn't one)?  What type
of data is in the horizontal?  Why is the horizontal data split into two
sections?  Why does the horizontal start at 10 going to 24, and then start
over again at 0 going to 19?  How is one to understand that graph, when one
of the two data type represented is not given, and the on top of that, split
into two unrelated sections?

Graphs are meant to represent data, when the data itself, for whatever
reason, is not easy to digest in raw form.  Graphs, therefore, can be
misleading.  A previous graph posted here, led Prodigy to believe that HLDS
was a threaded app.

Just goes to show why graphs are so popular.  You can create one to
mis-represent any kind of data.  Maybe this is why so many graphs get
displayed during U.S. Senate debates. ;)
