Enhanced Stats, Profiles & "Public" Info On Newsgroups Posters

Google already gives out posting activity of posters on news groups,
the total number of posts over a certain period of time.

This could be supplemented with other difficult to compile but public
stats and search information.

The number of OP posts as well as the number of OP/total posts ratio,
for example.

The average number of responses and number of different names received
by a poster's OP posts.

The number of BE (branch endings) as well ast the BE/total posts.

A search box could be included to pull up all of a poster's OP posts,
and all the posts in a selected group to show the OP posts are on
topic.

A search box could be included to pull up all a poster's BE posts to
see if the the branch ended because the poster won a debate or flamed
out.

If a poster is flaming out in 95%% of his posts then everyone will be
able to quickly see he has nothing to contribute to a tech discussion.
