All comments come from admin

Hi,

I hope this isn’t a repeat; I couldn’t find anything similar by searching.

Comments are working OK for me in 1.5 except than they all seem to come from me, the admin. Turns out this is because of some php tags that give my name and email as the defaults for comments by anyone. (I would guess that what the tags are intended to do is to let guests be remembered from visit to visit.)

Aside from being eerie and keeping me from knowing which of my (very few, luckily in this context) regular readers have commented, it exposes my admin email to the world.

To fix this, I just changed the default values for name and email to “” as follows:

<input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" />

This change needs to be made to comments.php in wp-content/themes/default.
