I agree with you! It's easy to get attached to people emotionally even if we don't really "know" them, at least I seem to. I know that I myself float into and out of babble from time to time. When I'm doing better I don't post as much, but when I DO post, I read all kinds of interesting things from fascinating people.
I guess I'm afraid to develop too close a relationship with people here, even though I *like* them, b/c of exactly what you said - sadness when they leave, or when I leave. But truly, some of the regulars are what make Babble such a great place for me. It's great to read how people are doing, and see what's new in their lives. I really do enjoy it. I hope it's not unflattering or insulting to say it's a bit like reality TV, b/c I love reality TV. Reading about people here is like watchign reality TV but getting to interact with the stars. It's pretty cool.
