I've really, really noticed the immediate, dramatic, and seemingly permanant drop in posting by at least half (and no, that whole half was not those many stupid one-line posts, it was many longer ones as well.), and it's quite unfortunate. If predictable. :(
The vast majority of his posts consisted of one line, one word, a smiley, or a picture. Longer threads were almost always debates. He did occassionly unearth a nugget of news or information, but more often than not, he was just being irritating because he had nothing better do to at work all day :D.
