the major bookstores (B&N, Borders) carry review guides for all kinds of topics like Japanese Grammar, Electronics, and Calculus, to name just a few. They're really concise and contain quizes at the end of each chapter to test your knowledge, so they appear to appeal to my terse method of learning a subject - perhaps they would appeal to yours.
Yes, but that is the responsibility of the forum which you are a member of. *They* should not divulge your info if they are really trying to encourage open discussion. Any civilized forum must have members who are willing to stand behind their beliefs - look at how fucked slashdot is, for instance.
As for voting, if it was done anonymously, then we could all vote 100 times, right? Not having your information made public is not the same as doing something anonymously.
As as for AA, they have to show up *in person*, so, while their name isn't known, if they act like an ass at the meeting, they still get hauled off to jail.
Remember my title - it's about taking responsibility.
Anonymity is a prerequisite for child pornography and spamming (to name just two). What worthwhile endeavor needs anonymity? If we all took responsibility for everything we did in cyberspace, perhaps cyberspace would be in better shape, neh? To add another obvious example, you could say good-bye to the trolls!

That their web pages are all .jsp :-)
Or that the dumbass install program

zip file. Not a good first impression.
