Slightly OT: Yahoo Groups Web Pages

Only slightly, I hope -- I subscribe only to astronomy-related Yahoo
groups!

Many web pages in the various Yahoo groups, including the "Messages"
pages, show constant loading activity in the browser's activity
indicator. The pages seem to have finished loading, but the little
wheel or whatever continues to spin, sometimes for minutes, sometimes
for hours -- I can leave the computer with the page open and come back
hours later and the loading indicator is still spinning. I'm afraid the
indicators' little gears will wear out.

The above is true in FireFox and MSIE under Win XP Pro /and/ Firefox,
MSIE, and Safari under Mac OS X. ISP is Comcast cable.

Commonality: Wireless base station > router > cable modem > world --
but no other web site that I visit exhibits this behaviour, and I have
no network or Internet-access problems. Anyone else?

Color me curious,

Davoud
