- * Builder for {@link Post} objects.
- * <p>
- * A {@link Post} consists of the following elements:
- * <ul>
- * <li>an ID,</li>
- * <li>a {@link Sone sender},</li>
- * <li>an optional {@link Sone recipient},</li>
- * <li>a time,</li>
- * <li>and a text.</li>
- * </ul>
- * Except for the recipient, all this elements have to be configured on this

- * (which should be used for new posts) or a custom ID you specify (for creating
- * an existing post). For the time you can use the current time (again, for
- * creating new posts) or the given time (for loading posts). It is an error to
- * specify both ways for either the ID or the time.
