    Is it possible that I stretched something? Any thoughts about how to
    stop the slip?

    One of the photos makes it appear that the upper part of the seat tube
    (where the seatpost emerges) is flanged out a bit, as would happen if the
    seatpost weren't far enough into the frame. If that did happen, it can
    deform & stretch things enough that you won't be able to tighten it
    enough.

    Is it the original seatpost? Could be that it's just slightly undersized,
    and buying a higher-quality aluminum seatpost might be just the ticket.
    Best bet is to bring the bike into your LBS and see what they have to say
    about it.

    Yes, it is the original seat post and I have always used it at the min.
    insertion point or lower. I might look into buying a higher quality post if
    I can't figure out another solution.
