In thoise instances though the implimenter of the cache is the fool - not
the manufacturer - like anything the operator/implimentor of a caching
product should have some understanding of WTF they are doing - sadly you
are right - Ken - thre undoubtably are ppl out there that will say "Hey
this will let me cache it longer - kewl beans!" - and will suffer the
consequences of their decision - but that doesn't really mean that the
product should not afford the operater the options of fine tuning their
performance.
