Not to go too off-topic (I would never do that) but in response to QuietLion I was forced to use Internet Exploder for a week or so.. had the worst time browsing Flyertalk.. installed Netscape.. now I'm happy again

All depends on POV -- bottom line is they are both too bloated and too slow

I would venture to agree it's a caching issue -- almost anything is -- either on your own machine or the proxy (if any) that is between you and Flyertalk.
