I have friends I see almost exclusively online, too, and they seem to fade in and out just like the face-to-face ones. Not just like them--cyberspace is a little more ephemeral. Even so, when one of them drifts off on the black ice floes, you can't help but wonder. Are they just spending more time away from the computer? That could be a good thing. Where do the people in the online communities they inhabited--people they've dropped out of contact with, people like you--stand in their eyes now?
The people you know exclusively online shouldn't get an altered perception of you because they're spending more time away. I know I certainly don't.
