There aint nuthin wrong with creosote use. You can't worry about folks not wanting you to use it on a fence post, besides that it aint their fence. It's the best thing and used motor oil is next best. We can still get creosote here in SE Texas at this time, but it's too expensive to get enough to soak post with. It may be pulled out at anytime but it's available at least for now. I have a 1000 gal fuel tank that was too rusty for fuel use so I split it in half long ways. I laid it with the open side up and when I want to treat post I use 25% diesel fuel and 75% used engine oils to cover the post or poles I have stacked in it. I let the post sit for a month or so submerged in the oil mix, then I pump the oil over into the other half of the tank on another pile of post. Then as they drip I turn them every 2-3 weeks so they drip more off and use them off the pile as needed. If you do something like that just remember to build a good weather proof cover so rain water can't get in it or it will float your oil out.
I don't know how long the pine post will last but I have some that are 15 years old now and still no water damage on them yet using just the oil/fuel mix.
When I can find cross ties I use them for corner post. If yall have them cry baby yuppies down under that come over and bellyache about your creosote post just holler and I'll come down and keep them b***ards smoked off of you til you can get finished with the creosote.
