I imagine the possibility of misunderstanding is more than doubled if both parties are non-native in english, and speakers of different native languages!

Couldn't have said it better myself! Plus you can't hear tone of voice in the written word. Someday some one will come up with a sarcasm font and it will be right up there next to the bold and italics. Maybe a squiggley letter or one that appears to drip?
