Re: cache parms

Is anyone aware of *specific* cache sites which forcefully ignore page
expiration in a way which would throw off content providers' hit counting?
If so, I would like to talk with the cache admin to understand a few things.
i have a modified squid that *specifically* strips out expire pragmas and
continue serving pages that are cached but used to be marked with an
expire.

I am not asking if it can be done.  I am asking for specific cases where it
is current practice.  I.e.

  "Yes, all of Texas gets its connectivity via a OC12 from Botswana, and 
  runs an expire-proof Squid at the border."
