Journal: Whatever happened to JonKatz?

I was talking with some friends about the possible demise of Kuro5hin and the /. of yesteryear, and we got to wondering: Where did JonKatz go? This seems to be the last article that mentions him. He hasn't posted an article since July of 2002. The latest reference Google turns up is a review written in '03 of a book written in '01. IIRC he'd achieved a level of near-universal hatred and disgust around here, but his disappearance dovetails with my own Slashdot hiatus so I never discovered... what happened to him? Was he asked to quit posting? Driven away? Has he fled in shame? Love him or hate him, IMHO his articles marked an era at Slashdot. When was it over, and what thread represents the definitive end of his Slashdot existence?
