Drifting away when the bandwidth is low is fine and can still be done. I should have said that avoiding drifting is novel for me when both (or more than two) parties are capable of expressing themselves quickly (both typing and composition). I just never had that experience before except in person. (Even voice and video were just laggy enough to make them lower bandwidth than face-to-face talking.) Voice and video are fine, too, but there's no easy record of what happened, they're one-to-one only, and you still can't talk at the same time or edit what you say. And if you say something complicated, it can't be reread until grokked. Plus, you can't use them as easily with people you don't know as well. Maybe I'm not explaining it clearly. I've just had great experiences with Wave so far, having discussions that I would have only been able to have in person (and would not afterward have a record of), at even higher speeds than I would have had in person. That's cool.
