I have a Gmail [1] account that I don't use for anything other than 

  1. having claimed seanconner@gmail.com as an email address;
  2. seeing what spam Google lets through its famed “spam filtering process”
     (hint: quite a bit actually, and I suspect Google gets paid to deliver
     it);
  3. seeing email for other Sean Conners who's friends/family don't know that
     seanconner@gmail.com doesn't go to the Sean Conner they know.

That last category is just a by-product of getting in early enough with
Gmail, and after all this time, I'm still surprised at receiving email
addressed to other Sean Conners (latest one: a betting pool to see when a
pile of snow known as “Mt. Pfeiffer” will melt completely away).

So I load Gmail today and get:

> We’re sorry, but your account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for

> 
> If the issue persists, please visit the Help Center » [2]
> 
> Try Again [3] Sign Out [4]
> 
> Show Detailed Technical Info [5]
> 

And when I clicked on “Show Detailed Technical Info” I got “Numeric Code: 4”.

Woo hoo!

Way to go, Google! Wonderful technical detail! That helped a lot!
