(sorry for the interruption)

Before I go and spend hours on the phone with mind-numbing low-level 
"support" kids.... Does anyone know about any content caching issues 
between Yahoo and Comcast?  For the past few days I have noticed that 
news content on http://my.yahoo.com is 2 weeks old when viewed from 
Comcast's broadband network (2 different locations in Atlanta).  This is 
not true when viewed from the same laptop via dialup or GPRS.  I know 
that my chances are less than 5% in trying to explain this to a customer 
support person, so I am hoping to glean some advice here on what to do 
about this.   Thanks,

-Jim P.
