  They don’t. However, the prompt will still appear.

  This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.

  Discussion Settings
  Other comment settings
  _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
  _Users must be registered and logged in to comment

  Note that the prompt to submit and email address and a website URL will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required.

  You can post instructions for your visitors in a text widget if you wish. That’s easy to do. You copy and paste this into a text widget:

  Readers: Note that the email address and logging in prompts do appear for comments on this blog, but providing an email address and logging in are not required.

  See here and read about how to set up a text widget. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  P.S. Do be sure to set up full comment moderation ie. “An administrator must always approve the comment” because anonymous commenting is bound to increase the amount of spam your blog will receive.
