I think this is because the site refreshes itself automagically so you don't
have to see if there are new posts. If you take a look at the
Big-And-Scary-Cookies you'll find a POVWebNGTimer -cookie which I guess
defines the time the page is valid and when the browser should refresh.
Or something like that.. I'm no web expert. I thought there would be a
Expires tag in the html-head, but I guess the same thing can be done with
cookies.

But anyway when your offline the browser still tries to obey orders and
download a newer version of the page because they expire in x seconds.
