Thank you for taking the time to correct my misunderstanding, but is this not restating what I wrote?

Or are you rejecting the other portion of the comment discussing caching popular content (never requested/received)?

Oh, I just realized I missed the word "received" in your first sentence! I don't have much to add to how you actually worded the sentence.

I think the automatic re-sharing of recently requested content is only for a short time period (elsewhere someone mentions 30 minutes). Probably not anything anyone should rely much on; it just sounds like a bonus to maybe soften the blow a little bit if you get a lot of activity suddenly.
