Expanding on Kelly's response:

believe it or not, this is a feature that is to the user's benefit not 
detriment.
Why, you ask?  Well, if you were examining a page, would you like it to 
suddenly change on you?
Probably not.  Keep in mind, you can toggle this feature on and off as 
Kelly described; and hitting a f5 will also refresh the page.
Perhaps the wordage isn't the best, but stopping redirects keeps the page 
constant for you rather than a moving target.

Next question:  why would someone want pages to routinely refresh?  Do you 
want old stock quotes during the trading day, temperatures on weather 
pages that never changed, a football game continuously with a 0-0 score in 
the first quarter -- get the drift.
You might want that not to change when you initially look at the page, but 
at some point, you want to know if the Dow 30 is still up 90.24 or if that 
has changed?
