Can the committee help me with my problem?

Kitez.com is a search engine with a DNS interface.  You put your
search string into the URL.  If the search returns only one one match,
then it does a redirect to the site in question (this is reasonable
because the database holds only sites related to kite flying).

For example, to find the home page of a certain kite flier and
perl hacker that we all know and love, try:

http://wardley.kitez.com (don't blink or you'll miss the
redirection page, lovingly crafted in TT)

Cool, huh?

The redirection code used is:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1; url='http://www.kfs.org/~abw//'">

Now, the problem is that when you hit "back" on Andy's page, you
go back to kitez.com for a second then get refreshed back to Andy's
page, regardless of how many times you hit "escape"...

Can the committee recommend a way to turn off the refresh when you
go back to the page?
