[Dismas]

Someone on Reddit asked about his blog and someone else said he closed it and took it private and only lets in people he approves of.

If I had to guess he either set up a small elite pay SE site or he has done so well over the years he's semi retired.  From reading a lot of his blog and posts and catching certain things he says that I remembered I am fairly certain he is one of the older SE's out there in the 40-45 year old range. Not too much older than me.

Maybe he's just taking a break like I have to do now every few months. Refunding tires me out faster than it did a few years ago and takes up more of my time and I don't even work and haven't in 20 years.

Hoping the best for him. He was the reason I kept coming back to this forum.

He's a great mentor and had zero ego for such a knowledgeable person.

What was the URL to his blog? I have seen some on this website saying you can check out the blog on the wayback machine.
