@feld @delta I thought the blog post was good, and two points really stuck out:
1) For ease of adding contacts, since you can scan barcodes between smartphones, Deltachat might as well be another Signal or WhatsApp (for how convenient this is). I had to admit that scanning a barcode to add a contact is becoming more commonplace by the day - kudos to #deltachat for supporting it.
2) When migration to another server was mentioned as being so easy, thanks to AEAP - "Advanced Email Address Porting" - that seriously blew my mind. I jumped out of my chair and exclaimed something to the effect of "shut the front door!"

I'm taking another timeless read through Aesop's fables. This is sort of like #Buddhism's Dhammapada, but for Westerner culture.
"The Wolf And The Lamb"
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.” The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.Translated by George Fyler Townsend
