<bad morning>
Thanks for the positive feedback.  Glad I could help.  You've obviously never had to 
support end-users' browsers.  Ideally every server would send the correct headers and 
we would all live in the happy town of CacheLand.  The reality is: different browsers 
interpret different headers differently and the headers themselves are almost as much 
of a crapshoot as trying to write cross-browser JavaScript.  Many sites don't even 
send the right headers or omit them outright.  Let's not forget overzealous caching 
proxies too.

Jon - Are you specifically setting any caching/expires headers in your output?

I think this is bad advice.  If your page needs to reload every visit,
then the *server* should tell the browser that it is not to be cached
(or that it expired a year ago).  You're basically slowing down
everything by not caching anything.

Old versions of Opera used to ignore the expire/no cache by default,
so had to be configured to honor them so things worked as expected.
