I don't understand: you say IRC allows zero-delay communications, so therefore it is wrong to use it for slow communication?

The single thing that would improve the IRC user experience for all is for everyone to start using /away properly (ie, at all) (and not to use /nick instead, which is my particular bugaboo). That way you can see when someone is around or not.
