I think we tend to care about people no matter what form they come to us in. People are people, and when you meet someone extraordinary, they become more than just a few words on a forum, you become attached to who they are as a person, and look forward to their presence & enjoy the time you spend together, whatever form that might take - seeing their posts, interacting with them in posts, seeing them in a chatbox etc.
