Email--Tumblr vs. Posterous

I've been posting to both tumblr and posterous via email heavily over
the last week. The tumblr interface never works quite the way I want,
especially if I attach an image. Posterous, on the other hand, always
posts all my text and the picture, just the way I would expect.
Posterous FTW.

State of emergency declared at Pompeii

Guardian
piece about conditions at Pompeii:
"A special commissioner will be appointed with a mandate to resolve
what the heritage minister, Sandro Bondi, said was an intolerable
situation at one of the world's top tourist sites. The daily Corriere
della Sera this week deplored the squalid conditions at Pompeii, where
visitors run a gauntlet of hawkers and self-appointed car park wardens
to a vast and poorly signposted complex with no restaurants and just
three toilet facilities."
