I don't know...
I still think valuable information will be exchanged that those people not connected at the time would miss – though that could be taken care of by posting the chat...though that would be WAY too lengthy to read through...
A chat would also allow members little time to consider their responses and formulate top-quality responses.
I also see the positive side of chats...
If chats were set up, I would suggest setting 'chat hours' – or maybe just special chats ‘once a month’ type chats.
Just my 2¢ 
I am open to debate (of course)...
