Except that if you're fast enough, and can hit the ALT-left_arrow, and
then escape fast enough to get to page 2.
Or, with some browsers, you can't get "back" to page 1 AT ALL, unless you
hit "back" twice rapidly in succession, or use the popup back menu to
"skip" the middle page that does the re-direct.
I *hate* sites that do this to me!
I've even been known to just stop using a site if it annoys me often
enough in this regard.
YMMV
