[squid-users] Im confused

  Basically a cached object is:
#
# FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
# STALE if age > max
# FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
# FRESH if age < min
# else STALE
#

This a sort of algorithm I read in the squid.conf file of Squid 2.5 Stable7.
What I don't get is the first line states that an object is fresh if the
expiry time is less than the current time. As I see it if the expiry time
has passed and the current time is larger than that how come ab object can
be fresh or else stale.
