Post data and annoying Confirm dialog

Ive been doing a lot of reading about GET and POST.

I like POST as you do NOT get all the extra url information in the address bar.

When using get you end up with a string in the address bar that people can change and thus, get someone elses data.
BUT, using POST, you quite often get the Confirm dialog, " the page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA that has expired from cache. etc etc.
Anyone know of a trick to either get rid of the Confirm dialog, or by using GET in some fashion that all the extra url information is not displayed in the address bar.

I realize this was probably a silly " well that's the way it is" question.

I was just hoping there was a smart trick to hiding the extra url information from users.

I myself play around with address bars when I see all that stuff in them.
That is why the POST call was good. Nothing extra in the url. But alas, this forces the system to bother the user to many times to click the Confirm box.
Just hoping there was a way to hide the stuff and use the Get call.
