I agree with Doug.

I had a Salsa Ala Carte ATB frame with a slipping 27.2 seatpost. It had what I considered a short slot in the seat lug, as compared to my 2 other bikes. I extended the slot by drilling a strain relief hole 5-10mm below the existing slot, then using a doubled up hacksaw blade to cut the existing slot to reach my drilled hole. Worked like a charm.
