I've yet to find one of value.  One reason you notice the back button 
isn't working is because you realize you aren't interested, and try to get 
back from where you came.

If it was an interesting page, you might get lost in the content, and then 
when you want to move on, just move to another site.  But when the content 
is bad, the immediate reaction is to go back to where you came, after all, 
you were only curious about the site.
