I'm probably repeating the same response I made to your original post
way-back-when, Scott, but I think we need to remember that there is
probably a stronger inhibition to posting not-founds in Arizona than
elsewhere, because only in Arizona can one see (and compare) that score.
I emphasize this is not meant as a criticism of the statistics on
azgeocaching.com; it's perhaps best described as an unintended
consequence of those stats.

I can speak with authority here, our team having more not-founds than
any other except Team "Wyle E", and that team (actually Gidget) has more
than twice as many finds as we do (I had to write that to prove I really
do know the name of "The K-9 Cacher").
