(*@#!@#%

I tried telling people around here to use HTTP 503 ... but GSA sent out 
advice to use 302s ... 

If there are any people who are still in the process of their 'orderly
shutdown' ... please send HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable) for requests,
so that search engines don't completely screw things up while we're
shut down, or ignorant systems try to process the error page as if it
were real content.

Out of curiosity, is that advice posted openly anywhere where it could be 
publicly ridiculed? 

My sympathies to colleagues who are affected by the U.S. federal government 
shutdown.  Let's hope our (my) elected officials rise to the occasion and make 
it a short-lived event.
