First, WTF does "POSTDATA that has expired from cache" really mean? The data
you posted hasn't expired or else they wouldn't be able to resend it. Does
this mean "The page you are trying to view is the result of a POST, and the
result has expired from the cache...".

And why does it expire if a gnat farts within three meters? Is this the
expiry time provided by the server? If so, let's keep it around anyway
and put this on the screen:

	The page you are trying to view is the result of a POST that
	has been expired by the server. If you resend blah blah blah.
	To resend the data click OK. To view the (expired) page from the
	local cache, click DIRTYLAUNDRY. Otherwise, click Cancel.
