Not everyone CAN meet realtime.  I'm 13 to 16 hours away from the U.S. in
terms of time zones.  I'm sure others have similar constraints.  Also,
e-mail replies, while suffering from the lag of delivery, DO allow those of
us not totally up to speed (b/c of vacation, workload, or whatever) to
catch up with reasonable ease.
