Don't read into it so much. Losing a database means losing a database. It doesn't imply that there are no backups. Furthermore, how much detail can you really put in 140 characters? A detailed blog post would be nice but if Posterous is a small company with a handful of employees I'd say sending out a Tweet and getting back to work is a better option than spending that time explaining the specifics of what happened. That should come when it's fixed. By the way, anyone else getting a 503 error when connecting to posterous.com? Are they still down?
