Although conversation may seem quick and much easier than writing a
coherent, logical email, it is usually private and exclusive.  Moreover,
talk can be full of misunderstandings and generalities which would be
revealed in a written dialogue, especially one read by many people.

What people write here can be read by all, studied, analysed, and compared
in the future to what is said later.  Apparent inconsistencies or
contradictions can be revealed, discussed and explained, and the messages
can be studied by latecomers to get current.

It is more work to put it in writing, but worth it, IMO.
