I have a similar perspective. I think most people that go on text/imageboards have the expectation that they'll be just an anonymized chatroom*, but really it's a format that enables much slower-paced discussion. I post something on a few threads that I'm interested in, and then check back in a few days or weeks to see how the discussion has progressed. It's like a (slightly) more civilized equivalent of bathroom stall writings.
