hack saws work fine - I cut 5 inches from a Thompson seat post and it's
everything I need now.

Does having a lot of post down in the seat tube make it more prone to

Ted,
If the seat tube has some distortion from brazing, then a long post can be
a problem. This is easy to fix. Shorten the post with a hacksaw and file
a small chamfer on the new end. Make sure to leave at least the same
length as the original end to min insertion line.

Having barely survived from SPS (Stuck Post Syndrome) on my steel Niner MTB
with a LONG aluminum Thomson seatpost, I make sure I keep the seat tube
clean and lots of grease.
Others may recommend different preventive measures, but whatever you do
DON'T leave it dry.

not really ... as long it was greased.
I've found my Bombadil frame is much snugger fitting than any other frame I
have had. Long or short seatpost ... it's a pita to move around . So it's
likely more the steel tubing variation you are experiencing .
