	He is a Troll Mr.Unruh.
	His bait is not the shutdown but the systemd which he blames for his 
problems.  Linux Pro magazine is running a series of articles
aimed at enlightening people about the recent changes.
	Please waste no more electrons on his idiocy.
	He does run Linux though I believe "User Agent;Pan/0.139 (Sexual 
Chocolate; GIT bf56508 git://git.gnome.org/pan2)"
