Hey! I'm glad you mentioned this. I had the exact same problem happen with
the List Foundation site. When I went in through pine, I'd always get the
most recent version. However, when I attempted to visit via Netscape, I'd
get a months-old copy. I tried clearing cache, shift-reloading, etc. All
to no avail. I even sought the help of the webmasters. Nothin'. Then one
day it just up and worked for no apparent reason, and ever since I always
get the most recent version on Netscape.

I guess this isn't a very helpful story, but at least you (and now I) know
it's not just an isolated occurrence.

Is the URL in the form of "http://www.best.com/~username/" or is it a custom
domain?

On another note (which I hope is unrelated), my web-hints/index.html page
got corrupted.  It almost looks like "sort index.html -o index.html".
Looks like I'll have to rebuild it from scratch.  (All my mirror sites
have a copy of the corrupted file.)

the website was, as I said above, not at Best - but it has a custom domain.
The problem did not seem to be from the serving side (the right page was
there and some browsers were getting it), but from the getting side. And I
still don't understand what happenned.

I can't speak for Netscape, but Explorer has more then one cache.  The
directory structure looks like the following:
Windows
    Temporary Internet Files
        cache1
        cache2
        cache3
I was having some strange things happen and had to get rid of the files
manually (delete them outside of the browser) 

Netscape may be doing something similar.  

Is there more then one browser window open?  i.e. is the page opened by
target="_blank" ?

I physically went into Netscape's folder, when I was having this problem
(different page from whichever one Margarita was trying), and deleted all
unnecessary files, even after I'd cleared the cache...even though I don't
KEEP a cache. Just to be sure. (This is on a Mac under system 8.1)

Not when it happened to me. Just one window. And it never happened on any
other page, just this one particular site.
