Screenshot? If posterous is intruding on the reading experience of my users I'm going to change it.

  Just tried it again from FF and got it. Trying it a second time from Chrome did not bring up the error. I'll email you the image. It says it can't find the link, and I get sent to the posterous splash page. Interestingly enough, it looks like every other page request I send to posterous today from this browser will be honored. But if I switch to a new browser and go to click on a blog that's hosted on posterous, back I go to their "can't find the link and wouldn't you like to start using our service!" page. Perhaps it's just a bug. But it's a bug that acts exactly like somebody continuously trying to get me to start using something I do not want to use. So whether it's intentional or not, it's annoying as hell.

    As a follow, in case any of the posterous guys are listening, Max and I played around a bit and could not replicate the error. My current guess -- it's not my problem so all I have is a guess -- is that under heavy load, posterous fails to resolve the blog name and instead takes new users to the splash page. This may be a scaling problem, or it could be random pestering. From a user's standpoint, it looks a lot like pestering.
