Point to the 'personal' in my post. Or am I not allowed to disagree with you? Is disagreeing with you is disagreeable?

Honestly, how far back do you want to go? There are tons of seatposts with 1" to 1.5" of setback. The Titec Hellbent post had about 2" of setback but the leverage that it generated at the seattube could be hard on frames. SR used to make a seatpost with somewhere around 3" of setback



but the thing isn't what I would call a quality seatpost. It's a quality boat anchor (435g ).
