How do you get to know people on SW?

One of the things I used to love about EP (and what brought me back here) is that there are some really intelligent, witty people that come here. Of course there are a lot of trolls mixed in too. What kinds of questions do you ask people when you meet them to help decide whether they are a quality connection and worth getting to know better?

I get a feel for who they are and what they value by reading their postings including answers to questions. I generally find that people treat others how they like to be treated. I ask emotional questions. For example, what makes you laugh? Cry? What causes do you support? What are your priorities in life? How have you changed from your 20's, 30's, etc.? What are you passionate about? These kinds of questions enable you to know a person fast. Online is about establishing a rapport and a trust. It also requires some sort of frequency. I often have friends leave me words so I may reply in time.
