Comment(by filosofo):

 The comma should be removed from the line

 `Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing`

 A comma and conjunction should not separate a double predicate like that
 (as opposed to marking a series of items or splitting two independent
 clauses).

 Also, it might be confusing to suggest that a salient feature of posts is
 that they do not "stay in one place."

 If you're going to paint the bikeshed, may as well be thorough.
