You've been given good advice here.
I also agree that 5 minutes is pretty short. I work on computers for a living and can type fairly quickly! RP, on the other hand, takes me around 2-4 minutes for a reply most times (I know this because timestamps). If it's a very detailed response, if I have some sort of background distraction, if I'm tired, etc. it can take even longer.
I always welcome people sending a /tell: ((Hey! Can I join in?)) ((Are you free to RP?)) Hell, even just ((hi)) will get my attention. Even if you don't see a bunch of chat scroll, the other person might be having an in-depth conversation on their end in another channel.
