Are comments specific to an article revision?

Hi Guys, Just published a new article. I have noticed that the current revision has 2 comments: Plotting Circular Relationship Graphs with Silverlight[^] However, an older revision, has a different set of comments: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=342715&av=505884#_comments[^] Bit confusing! is this a caching issue of some sort? or are comments really 'tied' to specific article revisions?

Yes, comments are tied to specific versions in order to allow members to post comments while author's fine tune their article during the composition and approval process. An example is that you post a new article and it's in a Pending state while members approve it. A few members find fault with it, and you make those corrections, and then the article is approved. The comments related to corrections should not be included in the final published version of the article.

Thanks for the quick clarification Chris, that makes sense to me. In this case, the comments weren't really anything to do with corrections or approval: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=342715&av=505884#_comments[^] No matter, at least I know why it works like this :-)
