If you are using Internet Explorer 6.0, it has a security setting
that allows you to disable refreshes.
Goto Tools menu, Internet Options menu item, and go to the Security tab. You
might need to pick your security zone. Then press the Custom Level button.
Under the Miscellaneous node is an option called "Allow META REFRESH". The
default is enabled. Just set it to disabled, and pages will stop refreshing
themselves.
Regards,
Joe

Thanks Joe... I was not aware of this. It is however a browser-centric
solution... what about users of Opera, Netscape (I'm currently a big fan of
NN 7.1), Safari, Konqueror, etc. etc. Also, I would wonder out loud how
many "average" IE users are aware of this option?
