I disagree. Having parsed the words carefully, I think what Mike must have
intended was to compare the impact of curmudgeon-loss with the impact of
interesting posts, but omitted the colon after "less". It's the only
grammatical explanation, even though it suggests that Andrew's posts are
neither pointed nor interesting (they are usually one or the other). Unless,
as with his use of "impact" as a verb, he was deliberately provoking use.
But I can't believe that - can you?

PS NB the deliberately provocative use of conjunction at the beginning of a
sentence. Twice.

PPS Offset by correct application of apostrophe between "it" and "s"

PPPS ;-)
