    This is describing email, not a chat client. If I am chatting with you I expect real time engagement, otherwise I would send an email.

      Soft disagree. It’s less asynchronous than email, but definitely not a synchronous conversation like a phone call or in-person chat. Caveat: If we are having an active conversation, then people should try to respond promptly, or with minimal delay.
