Find x caches hidden by cachers that joined in a give timeframe

Not so much a request as an announcement. I don't have access to post in the completed section so posting here so it can be moved to completed.

I wanted to do a challenge for 100 finds of First Decade Hiders so I wrote a script for it.
It is based on the date the hider joined Geocaching.com, but does not care when the found cache was published. This is in line with the new guidelines and I have had a challenge (GC6GAMW) published.

The script is called "Find x caches hidden by cachers that joined in a give timeframe"

Parameters:
MinHiderJoinDate - Optional and defaults to May 3rd, 2000 if not specified.
MaxHiderJoinDate - Required. This is the latest a chacher can have joined Geocaching.com and have their hides count as finds for this script.
finds - The number of finds that are needed.
types - Standard array of cache types to include.

The output will list the top hiders you have found, but only until you have reached the number of finds needed, so there is very little risk of running out of log space.

Example: This config will see if you found 100 caches by any hiders that joined before 12/31/2009.
{
"finds": 100,
"MaxHiderJoinDate": "2009-12-31",
}
