Extra Long Seat Post

Hi,
I bought a inexpensive bike to comute to work with. I am rather tall (6.6) and I think the bike I bought is just not large enough. I am comfortable except for the seat not being high enough. I went to my LBS that they sold me a seat post that was a bit higher and they told me it was the highest that they carry. Sorry I do not have the measurements handly.

Anyway, do you know any place where I can get extra long seat posts, are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of and is there any danger of having them too long? I have seen some folding bikes with what look like 2 ft long seat posts so I am thinking that might be a good route to take.

Thanks for your help
