Existence is (Virtually) Futile?

Users of the Fairfax County government website got this oddly existential message from officials, who announced that it will go dark for three days for electrical upgrades:

"Fairfax County information technology services will be unavailable beginning February 17 and resume on February 20. My account will be inaccessible during this time frame and any incoming E-mail will be bounced to the sender. In effect, Fairfax County will temporarily cease to exist online for this period. We apologize for the inconvenience."
