Seatpost Rack

I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to use a seatpost mounted rear rack on a bike with a suspension seatpost.Has anyone used one of these with any adverse effect on the functioning of the seatpost?

It should not be affected. I would assume you would attach the rack to the lower part of the seatpost that does not move independently in relation to the rest of the bike.

Not as solid as the full rack but it sure looks cool.
