It has been almost one year since I began using Posterous' posting-by- email (from iPhone 3Gs Mail app) blogs in hopes of permanently escaping 8-9 years at Yahoogroups' posting-by-email groups. Posterous has a great idea (photos, videos, documents, etc. via email), plus RSS feed, google searches show your posts, autopost to Twitter, etc. --vs. Yahoogroups which offers none of those things. Unfortunately, it has been a painful year with Posterous... too many bugs, quirks, errors, etc. that just don't get better. Most recent 7/15/10 example (one of many across all my main 4 Posterous blogs):
http://graceparadise.posterous.com/the-sabbath-yesterday-today Will it work better in the future? Maybe so. Until then, it is a 50/50 chance my posts will show up correctly at the Posterous end, if at all, & it takes too much time running down the posts to see if they posted correctly, then adding comments & explanations if they don't, & having to repeatedly write the Help Team describing the same problems over & over. Not to mention the twitter people who click on links in the auto- posted tweets only to find nothing but a headline at the Posterous blog. Sigh. So I will no longer be taking chances posting to this Posterous blog unless/until I hear that all bugs are fixed. It is simply taking too much time hassling with it. Please follow me here at my old Yahoogroup which has no problems posting emails:

/The Paradise Reporter PS: Since this particular post was typed from scratch into the email itself (with no photos, nor links, nor copy/pasted web clips/text, nor any forwarded copy, etc. included), this post SHOULD show up at Posterous blog. It's when you include anything extra in the emails that they don't show up (or that's my best guess to date). ~~~~~~~~~~
