Yeah.  E-mail remains the only scheme where the two parties 
don't have to be introduced first, don't have to be online at the same 
time, and you can check for it in one place (if you want to, or you can 
sort and file to your heart's content.)

I've stopped being surprised that enthusiasts who tell me that the IM or 
online conferencing silver bullet du jour will kill e-mail never 
understand this.
