I like the idea of knowing who has read an article in full and who has not.

That said, I don't mind some noise from people who scanned (or less) the article. Random and wrong is still fuel for my thinking. Which is why I'm here. I don't have intimate connection with individuals here so much as the group as a whole.

To respond directly to your suggestion, I'd like ANY (even honor system) notation for people who have read the article (RL1, Reading Level: 0-3).

I like the Q and A idea for myself so I can review the article mentally and recapture elements and think more deeply on the subject for retention AND for better participation in the conversation. I would actually like that on my browser - "quiz me on this page" - anyone want to collaborate? Not that I'm a chatty Charlie on the boards here, but it is nice to be more confident in one's ideas before sharing.
