Caching is a good thing

I'm really surprised at the stink some folks are making over newsreaders working to cache HTML pages. What's the problem here folks? What screaming trouble does this introduce?

Or is it a matter of "fear what you do not understand?"

Caching is but one way to effectively aid users in consuming content. p2p delivery is yet another powerful way to help them get to content. But this seems to be lost on some people. Perhaps they're spending too much time obsessing over how it looks from the server-side. It seems like they're completely neglecting how this can greatly improve the user side of the experience.
