Typically, when I'm browsing, I have three or four windows open. When
I open a new page, I check one of the other pages. What I hate,
though, is a "redirect" that says "Dude --! My site, like, moved!
Click *here* to go to the new site!"
... and when I finally get around to checking the page which should
have loaded already, it hasn't. That's what annoys me about redirects.
