Apparently lawyers can quibble over the fact that the laws, written before the existence of telecommunications devices (and frankly, is wi-fi or internet telecommunications under the legal definition?) ... since the laws are careful to specify mail, post, newspaper and other methods, there's no mention of these newfangled telecommunications, so we have to add them.
That, or the various legislayers are trying to justify their jobs.
