EDIT: Also, the tube is REALLY REALLY thin at that junction, which is why I didn't just slot it and weld on a binder.
the max, means max height, as in, this is the maximum height that you should put your seatpost at. you could take it to mean that "this is the maximum amount you should insert the post," but then, that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, given that most posts are between 250mm and 400mm long.
although, with that corima post, i suppose it could mean that...since the area where it's written is flat, and you wouldn't be able to clamp it. that still doesn't change what sloppy robot said about it being a giant seat tube breaking lever.
the expander wedge thing just looks dangerous as hell. frame: dead. it's gone. PASSED ON! that is an EX-bicycle frame.
