Agree. I built a bike in May of 2002 and greased inside the seat tube with high quality bearing grease. The saddle height was never adjusted for 12 years. I took the bike apart last summer for a new paint job and the post slid right out, still covered with a greasy film. Cleaned the inside of the tube with a long allthread wrapped with a rag. Guess what came out? Lots of clean grease.
