My wife and I are interested in trying BSG via PBeM (hard to find a 3-4 hour chunk of time with an 8 month old). Not certain how much we'll lose with no table-talk, but the module just came out, so why not give it a try? I'd prefer to start things off without the expansion, but if nobody's interested in the original we'll use it.
I'll go ahead and start it up once we have 5 players (so, 3 more), but if it takes a really long time to get people we may start it with only 4. We're not interested in starting with less than 4 players.
I've never tried a highly conversational game PBeM, so if anyone has tips let me know.
