  WordPress.com uses cookies to keep track of commenters so if someone makes a comment on your blog, the next time they come to your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each other’s details.

  While we are at it the same can be said about the Admin [edit] link. It’s only for your convenience and only you can see it and use it while you are logged in.

  That’s because you are logged in. If I were to look, it would show my information. If a person not logged in sees your form, they won’t see anything. Log out and see for yourself.

  To confirm what I said is correct is simple. Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies. http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050 Then without logging in visit your blog and check it out.
