Yeah, it pains me to even read this kind of thing, because it makes me remember the feeling of reading one of his new articles (which was, maybe even _irrationally_ excited). I don't feel that way about any other blogger, past or present. It must be the combination of interesting and unique ideas with a really entertaining writing style that got me. Maybe it even had something to do with the years he was writing (I was in high-school & college at the time). I don't really think Yegge is going to get back into it (and I don't blame him), I just hope to find someone else with similar qualities.
