# hide user info?

 * Hi,
 * I am almost ready to launch a blog. I need to make absolutely sure that people
   who post comments can remain anonymous. The way the blog is set up, in a comment
   all you see is
 * ————–
    username dd/mm/yyyy
 * Comment text.
    ————–
 * I see no obvious way to find the user’s email. Is this mainly a function of what
   the templates display? Could someone who knows WordPress add something to the
   URL and find out a poster’s email?
 * Thanks,
 * Ben

 * I don’t think so. In most themes it is even noted: email mandatory, it will never
   be displayed/published.
