Why automatically follow the meta redirect at all? I notice that when
the time period is non-zero, it doesn't automatically follow, but
instead outputs something like:

  "The author wanted you to go here after 1 second"

That seems to make more sense to me -- it avoids loops, and is more
informative for users?
