I imagine that his "day job" requires his complete and undivided attention -- or maybe he grew a brain? Whatever, it is no great loss. He brought absolutely nothing of value to Wikipedia, and he will probably only be remembered for that idiotic borrow-the-mop fiasco with Steve Crossin in 2008.

How very Wikipedian to measure the departure of a young person in terms of the impact on that sorry site. Of course he brought nothing of value and neither does anyone else. If he sticks to quitting he will "be remembered" by the people that occupy the more important aspect of his life and not some silly drama you like to harp upon. Good luck to the kid.

There are a number of people who make an effort to create worthwhile content -- some of them actually succeed, too. All of them eventually get scalded.

Agreed. Here's hoping that he stays out of harm's way.

I succeeded, and I got scalded.
