- Delaying the main question in chat can be counterproductive as it makes the other person wait.
- Typing is slower than talking, so getting straight to the point saves time.
- Politeness can be maintained with pleasantries while still asking the question upfront.
- Asking the question immediately allows for asynchronous communication if the other party is away.
