Gunnar Swanson, a member of this list, can't get through for some
technical reason, so he asked me to send his comment to the list:

And that lack of interest in the topic extends to the fact that such
graphics inevitably say something so simple that a chart isn't really
needed. "Fish sales are up to five tons this year from four last
year, and two the year before." Why would it need to be a chart, let
alone one shaped like a tilapia?
