My goal in the article was to introduce people to a simple measurement technique, the YSlow score, and encourage people to do steps that would improve that score. Removing (or configuring) ETags does help, though you are correct that a site served from a single system will typically not have an ETag issue. In any case, removing ETags does slightly reduce the number of bytes sent by the server to the client, which is important for people who care about such things. On your error message: your apache config is probably preventing overrides. You can either move your Expires rules into your apache config or change your config to allow all .htaccess overrides for your blog location. @vadim Yahoo’s take on ETags is correct.

Strictly speaking, the recommendation should be to normalize your ETags to a format that excludes server-specific information, such as the inode reference in the default apache setup. Since we are adding expire headers, I felt it was safe to recommend removing the ETag header entirely to eliminate a small bit of header information. Your point is well made though. Thanks. Like you, we also advocate testing and measuring your site performance against a benchmark. The site-perf.com measurement tool looks like a good one to add to our list of recommended tools.
