as the posterous spokesperson alludes to in the comments, he is probably better off elsewhere.
i totally get the gripe, and i do sympathize, but it's a free service and at the end of the day it's not something that shows up on the radar screen for a large majority of their users..
Didn't notice that. Good to know, I was thinking about using Posterous as a super super easy way for some of clients to populate their blogs. That would have been a big mistake on my side!
Yup, that's why I picked Tumblr over Posterous. The toolbar is just ugly, I'd be fine if I could make it that 2D tag they used to have, but I couldn't get it to work.
Tumblr is definitely less stable, but my blog isn't that important anyways.
Tumblr lets me use script tags at will, and that opens up a whole world of customization possibilities that I didn't have on Posterous. There's only so much you can do with iframes before running into cross-domain roadblocks.
I just moved back to Tumblr after using Posterous for 6 months or so. I finally got tired of the slow page loads and buggy editor I experienced using Posterous.
You're using a hosted blogging service. And you're surprised that they want to drive traffic to the version of the content that they're hosting? I agree with their comments: You're better off somewhere else.

However, this isn't true for all our users, especially those who are using us to autopost to other sites.
We'll make this a theme element so that it can be removed if desired.
Thanks
