Absolutely. The magic will be in making delays that are useful for 
gameplay, but small enough that it is too much of a burden to copy 
everything to some OOC system.


If the delay were on the order of hours, instead of days, I think most 
people wouldn't take the trouble except in cases where they're already 
talking on IRC, etc. anyways.
