It felt the same, that is, it had the same charactereristic feel to it, which made me think it must then be the seat post.
I think the 3 resonant systems, being independent of each other have to be treated in isolation with each other. Each one needs to be either close to being critically damped or far out of the way. You can't change the rear suspension's properties and expect the seatpost to improve.
