Definitely agree. Related, the optimal format for arranging a meeting time asynchronously is clearly:
A: I am available to meet at times X, Y, Z [with nice distribution of reasonable times], do any of those work for you?
B: Yes, X works for me. [OR]. Unfortunately, I can't make any of those times. I am available A, B, or C. Do any of those work for you?
A: See you at X.
And for ****s sake, if you're B never do any of:
B: Excited to meet! [With no reference to date/time].
B: I might be able to make X work.
B: Yeah, any of those times are fine with me.
B: Sorry, I can't make those work.
B: I can do Q.
[Assuming that as B you actually want to have said meeting and/or maintain a good relationship with A].
