Setting fence posts into waterlogged ground

I'm in the process of taking down a hedge and putting up a new fence and I've found that in some areas, the ground is waterlogged to within a couple of inches of the surface.The plan was for a ranch style fence with 4"x4" tanalised posts at 6' intervals and I'm wondering what's the best way to set the posts to give them the greatest longevity.Given that they're bound to need replacing at some point, should I be thinking about making them *easy* to remove (by, i.e. setting them in gravel) or are there other things I should be considering.Tim
