I care! And I would care even more if they had my real phone number, birthday, or home town. They still have my real name, college email address, actual friends and family. And photos.

I also see some, but not enough, in my opinion, of the following:

keep your promises, whether they are tacit or formal, expensive or cheap, connected or not connected to some other issue, defensible or not defensible in court. Just keep your promises.
