What's the difference to an interview, which newspapers have done for over a century? Many interviews are letters (now e-mails) back and forth.
What’d be the benefit of keeping it synchronous comms say vs an email thread?
Some mailing lists are fascinating to read.
I actually had that idea not long ago.

Emails take alot longer to send & receive (like 5 to 10 seconds), & they don't automatically show new emails at the bottom (you have to click on the yellow bottomright bar that pops up in Gmail).
