Tell HN: Posterous/Tumblr is not the easiest way to post anything.

(Disclaimer: I'm not an early adopter).

I went to Tumblr for the first time just then, expecting to find a text box with a post button and nothing else. I expected to be able to type in my post, press <enter> and it be published to the net with a URL.

Neither posterous nor tumblr does this.

Instead I must type in an email (I don't want to sign up), close about half a dozen popup boxes (tumblr), navigate to the relevant page, before I can even construct my post.

This is not the easiest way to post. Sure, it may be easier than anything else available. But if anyone is interested in actually making the easiest way to post, here's an idea: how about a text-area box with a "post" button.
