Not when I bought mine in September.
11 Stone reckon you should be OK, I rung them up and they advised me to change the post as I was over 12.5 Stone.
Even people with the paste were experiencing it, there is/was a massive thread about it on bike radar. Didn't mean to put a downer on your new purchase just thought I'd mentioned so you were aware. You going to be brave and take it out for a test run before spring?
Congrats again on the bike I love mine albeit I only rode it 30 miles before the crap weather came
Not too worried about the seatpost, there are as many people posting on there who have had issues as haven't and you are most likely to post if you do have issue. Just something to keep an eye on, plus I aren't a heavy rider.
Went for a quick spin round the block a few times tonight first impressions are great! Thoughts:
1. Its SMOOTH! So smooth on the road. The tyres are 25 mm and look quite chunky but they still travel at a fair old speed, but its just so smooth to ride. It absorbs bumps like they aren't there and makes rough roads feel smooth as glass compared to my Defy. It just feels in a different universe, its almost so smooth that it feels like you are going slowly, its only when you look at the Garmin and realise you are coasting along at 34 km/hr that you realise its not slow!
2. Its light. You definitely notice that difference when accelerating. Dubious as to whether it actually makes you faster up hills, I think better legs and lungs and body fat loss will do more for that than anything else.
3. Looks. Personal taste and each to their own and all that, but I think it looks awesome in the black and red. Not going to ruin the look by adding a saddle bag, that's what jersey pockets are for right?
4. Drivetrain: Gear shifts are impeccable, albeit it needs adjusting to stop a minor bit of rub on the big ring in the big sprocket but changes are instant and very smooth. Brakes, too early to tell really, new rims and shoes mean they have that new-bike twitchiness and means I have to constantly remind myself that I will go over the bars if I aren't careful.
5. Wheels: I can't really compare this to anything really due to not really owning many bikes to use as a benchmark. If there was one negative to this bike, I would say that its the rear freehub which is a particularly loud clicker when coasting. I guess its just a matter of getting used to it and the fact that its the bikes way to tell you to keep pedalling!
then he did some extra work on the wheel the next day, got the tension even higher on the spokes afaik as it was a bit clicky. 
just ride it! its not going to fall apart.. I've done 3.5k miles on my new bike and everything is still going, only thing that failed first time was the front spoke that's it
