I think it could use improvement. Look at https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage and explain how "as_user" makes any sense. And it gets more convoluted depending on other parameters used (IM channels, etc.)

Also, why can't I use a secret key with my basic postMessage script? I have to navigate OAuth2 just to make a post? Argh the pain!
