yagu's Journal: question about "sig"

I hate to ask, but maybe someone else knows...

I've noticed an unexpected sig behavior on slashdot. I thought whatever sig issued with a post was the sig that stayed associated with that post forever. What I'm seeing though is whatever sig I define becomes the displayed sig for any and all of my posts!

Is this the expected behavior?

Does this surprise anyone else?

I noticed it a while ago.

Originally, I thought like you, that the .sig was attached to the post. Then I changed it....

It makes sense from a programming point of view: what gets stored as a record in the database is the text in the comment field - period.

A little disappointing, as I would in the past end an article with a reference to my .sig - which becomes dumb when my .sig changes....
