Except, as has been mentioned on this esteemed List before, a refresh time of 
zero is effectively the same as an HTTP 301 and doesn't hurt anybody.

Before my sites were moved to my current box, I couldn't edit an .htaccess file 
and had to rely on the old meta refresh method to redirect pages. Even the best 
of us must make do sometimes.
