  Jack, can't agree with you on that one. It is still as much of a thrill
forme to add a few more numbers then it was 2000 ago.  I just enjoy being
outin the woods. Bernie.

the small challenge of setting goals and seeing how we are doing compared to

some of the thrill out of getting just a few more numbers. There are a lot
ofus down on the bottom of the list that can't see our numbers on a list
thatstarts at 200. Mike Griffin <griff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>[1] wrote: - Whats
reallysad is that only 1 person in the top 50 is coming to MOGA.. You would
think that they would want to show everyone how they cache... And as for
Dan's comments.... I haven't looked at the member stats page in a long
time..I just use the front page where Rich does a great job with the
milestones.. And.. Since Rich is still keeping up with the milestones for
ALLmembers, why the complaint? Mike Tired of Spam?? Here's your solution..

thestats that we use to have, but you can look and see how you compare with
all the cachers that have over 200 finds. -----Original Message----- From:

andI am sure controversial - Should I assume that since they have not come
back that the "Member Stats" feature of the SLAGA web page is dead and not
coming back? I used that feature a LOT not to compare myself to other
cachersbut to see how people were doing and who was cahing etc ...it was
niceto see how many each of my friends had and how they did compare to
mine...not in a jealous or envious way but just out of curiousity. And the
talk I have seen about people not caring about stats is a bunch of bull...I
would say that most cachers DO care about stats otherwise why do they log
their finds? Also why do we congratulate someone on reaching X number of
finds or throw a party when Bruce hit 1000, 2000 and 5000. I know there are
exceptions but in general I would say they want and like them I care about
mine and celebrate at each 100 caches that I find...maybe to people who have
found over 1000 or 2000 it may not mean much but my 600+ caches are well
remembered and hard fought and by golly I am PROUD of the fact I have stuck
with it so long and the number I have done reminds me of how hard and long a
trip it has been. I also understand that it is a LOT of work and hassle for
Paul to maintain and if he just does not want to maintain the feature then
say so ...but considering it was one of those features advertised with the
paid membership I would have thought that at least the first year it would
bekept. I know this will probably open another can of worms ....it seems I
amgood at that but hey I would like to know as it seems to have just fallen
