There's something about meeting someone offline, even if you mostly talk to them online, that just helps all the pieces fall into place.
The people I read in most detail are the people I'm closest to, or if someone only posts once every few months, I'll read their words more carefully than someone who posts often. Long rambly posts often get skimmed as well. There's definitely a spectrum of interest that's not simply a function of how much you care about someone, although that's definitely a factor. Presentation counts as well.
