That would be great! Just pull the cache for the stats, but not allow the 
cache page to be viewed upon clicking on the link on your site. I just want 
to see the numbers stay aligned.

I thought I remember you or Brian saying something about the 
azgeocaching.com site itself had to be a member to crawl the MO caches. I 
stand corrected! If this was true: I would propose this... each and every 
one of us sends $1 to Brian/Jason so their site itself could become a 
member... that would be more than enough to cover the membership to 
geocaching.com and the rest could be considered a donation for all the work 
yall have done to keep those stats available to us. If your site is already 
able to grab the MO caches, then let's all donate a buck anyways! Either 
way.. perhaps we all should donate the $1 each year to pay for Brian and 
Jason's geocaching.com membership anyways. I myself have always felt that 
their efforts provide me with everything I need to geocache in Arizona.

Whadya think?
