That's one thought I'd had.
There's a simpler heuristic which was developed at Microsoft back in the early aughts, based on Usenet, which simply looked at thread topology to make inferences about the type of exchange.
I'm pretty sure that was Marc Smith (the name was a very common one, that or Jones was in my memory), see:
"You Are Who You Talk To: Detecting Roles in Usenet Newsgroups" (~2005?)

(Date based on citations and recent data (2004) mentioned in article. Why aren't academic articles internally dated?)
NB: That's one paper I've found, not necessarily the most applicable, though it points in the right direction. I'll update (edit or reply) if I find something more appropriate.
