Terri,
Actually many of us clear the cache frequently; it can speed up things
on the web if there are fewer items in index list to sort through and
keep track of. And to use certain "updating" pages based upon one type
of javascript or another, it's sometimes easiest to clear cache with F8
than to do "move graphic to own window & delete" or "move frame to own
window & delete" type stuff.
And I, at least, pay more attention when I'm on the www rather than when
I'm tired from reading/responding to e-mail. <G>
l.d.
