Good points.  My email program does what I tell it to.  It checks for
new emails at an appropriate interval and downloads it immediately
from the server.  It keeps the server happy.  I have the data even if
I lose the connection.  I would tell it to check every 2 hours if the
computer is inactive, if I could.

I didn't ask it to do that.  And it doesn't do that for most sites.
Most pages don't refresh until I say refresh, even if they've
changed.  Including this one, groups.google.com.  Those which do (like
wunderground.com) are ones I don't keep active.  And I can tell it
doesn't even do that for the set of 'most active sites' (the ones
which appear on a new tab).  But if I shut down Chrome and bring it up
again, it revisits every single tab.

Thus, I contend I'm being a good Internet citizen by NOT shutting down
Chrome at night.  I welcome evidence to the contrary.

To the original question, I now understand why Chrome misses me, and
many thanks to CPU for the informed answer, and the hope that even
this behavior will become smarter.
