Oh and all the flop percentages given above would be using the stats from the sites as opposed to Poker Tracker or other comparable software.

What is different between the two sets of stats that makes this distinction important?

The stats from the Poker sites, take into account your flop percentages from all positions including the blinds. So to have a 20% flop percentage (from a site) would mean that if you played your Big Blind and Small blind every time you would have folded every hand from every other position (assuming a 10 handed table . . . 2 out of 10 hands played = %20).

Poker Tracker (and others) break up your flop percentages into 3 or 4 different catagories. It gives you flop percentages including the blinds, not including one of the blinds (SB) and not including both of the blinds, etc. The most common Poker Tracker stat mentioned is VP$IP (Voluntarily put money into pot) which is often (for good players) around %16 and does not include the Big Blind (in an un-raised pot).

So when I said above that the Percentages quoted where from the sites I meant that they were TOTALS as opposed to something like VP$IP.

Hope that clarifies
