Oh, and I mean a *simple* tool for a technologically simple guy like me.
That's a very interesting idea! I just posted an answer to my blog:

Greetings,
Jakob
Thanks so much Jakob :-D
Andrew had already more or less suggested this but it wasn't until
your detail that i figured out how to actually play with it - which
was exactly my point. I've been playing around with it for a bit and
some further results I got were (I redid NPOV and BOLD myself just to
double check I was doing it ok):
NPOV: 10,668
BOLD: 9,172
NOT: 7,245
Civility: 4,658
CITE: 2,969
No personal attacks: 1,572
NOR: 1,473
BITE: 1,081
Dispute resolution: 213
(Jakob got 5600 links for Wikipedia:Wikiquette and 1,188 for Assume_good_faith)
Interesting.
Thanks again - and by the way, it's ridiculously charitable to suggest
I "invented" this; it was as always a collaborative venture ;-)
Cheers
