> For some kinds of messages a near-real-time text chat is the right channel but async email-like flow would be entirely the wrong channel. What's an example? I encounter maybe one situation per month where I'd consider asynchronous communication "wrong", despite having multiple synchronous meetings per day. In the situations where it is wrong, no one (IME) pings anyone with "hello......", They schedule time on a calendar (asynchronously).
