any suggestions for further fixes to keep the alu post from slipping?

one option, adam hansen uses a second seat collar. thoughts?

another option is to try another post. but it's a 31.6 post and only other one i have is carbon. if i try the carbon, i assume i should clean out the grease from the seat tube and apply carbon paste? any downside to residual grease mixing with carbon paste?

to sum up my situation in a word: help!

thanks!
Good bike shop will have a knurling tool...makes ridges in post, no slip no mas.
