Most of them, yes, but not all of them all that thoroughly..

thank you, i appreciate your honesty and get what you're saying -- i should exercise caution and the responsibility is mine. looking at the statistics tab in the "configure stats" window, i see that all of the stats are protected (denoted by the check in the box), but the one stat i've added myself is not. there is a remove button that will allow me to remove any unprotected stat, i assume.

is there any danger in adding a stat and removing it once i've discovered that it doesn't work properly? i see the "validate" link on that window as well, which i will use to test the stat before i update my cache. basically i'm wondering if i will encounter issues if i have to keep updating the cache for a new stat and then updating it again after the stat doesn't work, or if it happens to break at a later date.

thanks for reading, and for responding. :)

That shouldn't cause any problems for you. You can add or remove stats at your discretion the only thing to note is that if you have a stat on your HUD then remove it you'll need to remove it manually from your HUD also as it won't automatically be removed from your HUD when you remove the stat from the stat configuration window.
