  Note that the prompt will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required. There is no way for us bloggers to remove the prompt. It’s up to us to post instructions if we wish to tell the world that the blog comments can comment anonymously.

  Frankly, there’s no way I would ever set up anonymous commenting on my blogs because I’m aware that (1) the vast and overwhelming majority of all information on the internet is spam; and (2) that over 80% of the so-called comments submitted to free hosted WordPress.com blog every day are spam.
