If you have MS Excel and can write some VBA code, getting data from a web page and loading it into a workbook is insanely easy.
Here's a code snippet that connects to Bok's site and downloads the first page of the TA R@H stats into a workbook. Comments are prefaced with a single quote. (For some reason, I can't get the Attach Code function to work so my code indentations aren't showing up. Hence, this looks pretty messy... )
=======================
Public Sub GetRosettaStats()
Dim qtbl As Excel.QueryTable
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
' Set pointer to storage worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
' I always want to start with a fresh sheet so delete any existing QueryTables
For Each qtbl In ws.QueryTables
qtbl.Delete
Set qtbl = Nothing
Next qtbl
' Clear existing data in the worksheet
ws.Cells.ClearContents
' Set the URL for the stats site and the destination for the returned data
Set qtbl = ws.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http : //stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats.php?proj=rah&team=TeAm+AnandTech", Destination:=ws.Range("A1"))
' Set some properties
With qtbl
' I want to select which table on Bok's page to load
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
' The data I want is in the 16th html table
.WebTables = "16"
' I want data only. No formatting
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
End With
' Get the data!
qtbl.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
' Clean up pointers
Set qtbl = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing
End Sub

I used a similar technique when I did the Seti race stats for S@H Classic. I wrote code to download team stats from Berkeley, perform all of the calculations I needed including milestoners, format the output the way I wanted, create a text file with the formatted output and load it into notepad. I had the whole thing scheduled to run at 5:30 AM. When I got to work in the morning, notepad was open on my desktop with the race stats loaded. All I had to do was add a few embelishments like smilies and any other BS I felt like putting in, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into a forum message.
BTW - IJump: I was the dude you filled in for way back when. Plus, for a while, I was pumping a CSV file from my stats runs to you each day via email. Just goes to show you how quickly old statisticians are forgotten. Find a new stats pusher to satisfy your addictions and to hell with your old supplier. That's life on the DC streets.
