Dumb Question about the Cross-poster

If I create a post on DW on my "access" filter, but cross-post it to another site (LJ), then it will effectively show up as public on the other site (and not be filtered in any way), correct?*

My confusion stems from the fact that I have allowed some users with OpenID livejournal accounts access to my journal. My understanding of OpenID is that it is a tool for cross-manuevering between sites, and that the access I give to those users is limited to the DW site, and not LJ.

*I realize I can set my entry default on LJ to a minimum security level of "Friends" and effectively limit the post to my friends list, and somewhat curb this issue. I'm just curious as to how cross-posting something to my "access" list and another site works out.

Thanks. :}

I just checked, if I crosspost using my custom filters imported from LJ, the crossposted entry appears as just friends only.

That, I assume, is a bug, as I don't tend to use filters that much.

It is possibble to set a client to post using custom filters, I assume that's merely not implemented yet.

Yes, the filter bit is a bug and is included in the list of things to fix in Bug 180.

Filters of the same name would be independently controlled on each site.

So that's theoretically how it would/should work; access filters on the DW end are not yet built though, and I'm not sure how the crossposter is eventually going to handle filters.
