DNS psychoses

Explain this, oh great geeks on my friends list:
The DNS records for andysocial.com were updated at midnight Saturday night. When I query ns1.earthlink.net for andysocial.com I get the new IP address. When I query WinSock's internal lookup for andysocial.com I get the old IP address. I waited until 2 full days had passed before I erased the account at Virtualave, so I figured I'd be safe. Hell, I was surfing through my site all day yesterday, on the new host. I even set up a subdomain for njuastar to use for her vanity site. I uploaded a boatload of pictures to the gallery. Yet, I cannot get to my site through my ISP. The log files show other people are getting to the site just fine.

Why am I being sockblocked, if the DNS servers I am querying know better?

Update: Earthlink's local POP got their cache re-started again. How it went back from a working updated load to an older set of data is apparently pure fucking magic...

Messed up people

I am so glad that not a single person from my "friends" list shows up as a member of _unabashed. It's like Billiam with less class and style. Dayum.

On a related note, why do so many people who claim they are their own person feel the need to proclaim that fact with such venom that it's obvious to all but themselves that they are just scared little children?
