Normal/average talking is ~150 WPM. Average typing speed is about 60-70. Is a 150+WPM a requirement to become anonzzies' friend?

The only person that could type as fast as I can speak and whom I met in real life was an immigration officer taking my naturalization interview. The sound of a keyboard going: trrr-trrr! And he was amazingly accurate too: all unnecessary things that I said for conversation sake were there, and exactly as I said them. But I think my wife would beat him easily though…
Or a really slow talker?

High WPM might be achievable with shorthand though.
