AOL Cache

I just re-read my original posting and realized that I typed "does anyone
else have a problem" when I meant "does anyone have a problem."  I didn't
mean to necessarily imply that I found oh so much wrong with what AOL is
doing as that message may have led you to believe.  I posted it to bring up
some issues that others have raised with me in the past and I wanted to get
the opinions of others (of which I have received many already.)

On the issue that some have raised regarding "but everyone caches and it's a
normal part of the net" I will generally agree.  But, isn't what AOL is
doing, i.e. caching on a much grander scale and not just on an individuals
machine, a little different than what has been going on all along?

Just interested in seeing what everyone else thinks...
