[wp-hackers] bypostauthor class disappears on comments page

[Chip Bennett]

WordPress only has one method of login. One does not "log in" via the
comments form.

If the comments form presents the author fields (Name, Email, Website), then
the current user isn't logged in; otherwise, the comment form would consist
solely of the comment textarea.

The Gravatar comes from email alone. If the user provides the same email in
the comment form as the one configured in that user's profile, the Gravatar
will be the same.
