Thanks for looking at this...
 
I would say...very close but not quite. When I tried it or any variation of it you are right that a over-long post shrinks to the minimum height possible. However, the top row (contains topic and date posted) will grow if that top row height plus the post height are a less than the column height to the left (contains author etc).
 
I am going to guess that you are right that it need removing but that the top row needs a control somehow.

The first is used for backward compatibility with EIE 5 and 6, the secound is for all other browsers.

If you remove it and only post one line and have a signature than the signature starts halfway through.

If you shorten it you get the same issue with posts where the author has avatars, location, posts, etc. in the right hand side.

The size it is set at is the best compromise for all situations.

Trust me days was spent on this, and you won't find some quite all-round answer, the solution at present is the best all round comprise for all current browsers.

Hmm, I might be confusing this issue with one I had but I removed the sidebar altogether and put all the information I wanted from it in the post mast - of course, this fit with the way my site has looked this way for many years, 8.5 was the only version I ever ran with a sidebar in the posts.

Smack me if I'm totally on the wrong track.
