I solved that by cleaning the inside of the seat tube and the post thoroughly, consistent with grit or corrosion lubricating the surfaces.

Wouldn't an anti-seizing stuff serve this alleged purpose better?
Shoot, what's that? Less than an inch a year, I thought you might have suggested it was slipping 2mm a ride. I think I might have shrunk that much last year. Where can I find one?
