"The moat is the one between communications and applications. Communications say things, and applications interact with things. There are crossover areas, but something like email is designed and overwhelmingly used to say things, while websites and apps are overwhelmingly designed and used to interact with things.

"It's fundamentally useful to have a divide here the way it's useful to have a divide between a book about fire and a book of matches."

Fixed. Post-by-email added a carriage return and a space between 'h' and 'ref'.

Huh. You should maybe let Support know about that!

There's a lot of email of the form "Please confirm your appointment" or "Your employee's expense review needs your review" or "An important bill is coming before Congress next week; call your representative" which aren't so much about saying something as they are about asking the reader to do something.
