Just did the same (looked back on his old posts and the threads around them), and I agree with you even more. Think the reason is that we were a lot more diverse back then and a lot of regular posters who have now disappeared or seldom post (DD, viaducting, Mark Wallace, JSOP, Wizardzz, _Damien_) to name but a few. There was just a lot more people to bounce off in those days, so one follow post would be answered with a funnier response, which in turn would be answered by an even funnier post. But now The Aussies and Yanks have all but disappeared and there are just a few Brits left which seem to dominate, but it means the type of humour/interest is very narrow.
What I notice after returning from my regular Hiatuses is that I normally discover someone 'new' that I was aware of before but didn't fully appreciate how funny their posts were. I think you was the first one, years back, and more recently Mehgerbil. What I notice everytime I come back is there are less people wanting to have a laugh and more and more 'Traffic Wardens', for example posting "qwe qweew qwe..." [^] is now a ban-able offence.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Nope, I didn't aware of that. The last post I remember about him was that someone posted a thread saying Henry joined Stackoverflow. It was long time ago.
Enjoyed his posts when I was new here.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Ancient hominids used to paint graffiti very, very high... it was the Stoned Age.

The road side sign is placed in a more natural field of view when driving than your cell phone placed on your lap.
Texting while driving (or holding your phone while driving) is really dangerous as you remove your concentration from driving to do something else.
I'd rather be phishing!

Plus reading doesn't need your hands, where as using a phone often does.

The sign is visible from a distance when it is just above your line of sight enabling you to read it while still keeping peripheral vision on the road and requiring very little focal shift.
Looking at your phone requires you to take your eyes off the road completely.
