Well, this brings up some interesting points.  As Jason has shown with his
freemont saddle cache, it is definatly possibly to "find" your own cache.
In that case someone has found it and re-hidden it to a significantly
different spot, and logged something along the lines of ha ha ha.
In general I would say that you really should only be putting notes on
your own cache.  This did get me thinking though, and I will momentarily
be adding another stat to our up and coming stats page that will be right
next to the "found" section.  This new field will be adjusted for caches
that you own that you have also claimed that you found.
That way people can easily see the differences in numbers.
Some people will consider the first number to be the most accurate, other
will consider the second, adjusted total, more accurate.
My personal belief will be that the second will be more representative of
an accurate "score" or whatever you would call it, but thats me.

> BTW - can anyone (Jason) tell us how many people are on this list?

Right this second... 33
