My thoughts exactly!
I wonder if some statistics analyst could work up a cache archival rate chart, taking into account the cache's age, type, and style. Shouldn't be much different than a human life insurance 'life expectancy' algorithm. :-D

Cache On!

But of your first 100 caches, how many were still
there when you first got to 100 finds.  Since that
occured some time ago, they have had a long time
sitting there open to being archived.  Your most
recent 100 finds, have not been sitting there that
long since you found them.  In 2 years from now, these
recent 100 caches may have a higher archive rate.

Interesting findings... of my last 100 caches.. 92%
are still active. 8 are 
archived or disabled. So much for my theory that new
caches dont stand the 
test of time! :) (my first 100 was something like
48% still active).
