    Looks like the last update was in 2012. This might be a little out of
    date, nicht wahr?

    Is this comedy? Devoted? High-volumne?
    Can anybody identify an Unnecessary Posting?

    Perhaps.
    It fails to mention the relevance of postings regarding USA laws not
    restricted to but especially about political matters but this may be
    because the USA regards not only Written International Law as Fiction,
    Fantasy, AND Horror, but also its own laws.
    It makes no mention of drawn comics, nor Elon Musk's contribution to
    future technology, nor the public-loving oil companies uncovering
    grant-greedy climate scientist conspiracy theories.
    Some people might classify the above as Unnecessary Postings. I don't.
