It looks like most of what the most active admins do is predominantly deletions.

There's a much wierder distribution for blocks - 2 accounts with about
25k blocks each (Curps, Can't sleep...), 3 with more than 5k each
(Naconkantari, Luna Santin, Freakofnurture), 4 with 4-5k each, 9 with
3-4k each, 17 with 2-3k each, about 50 more with 1-2k, and then it
drops off from there (I have 274 blocks, and am about 200 down the #
of blocks list from the top).
