You can take my word that Moe is pretty honest.
You can also use http://groups.google.com/advanced_search and place
the author in the Author box to check on anyone. Two example results:
Results 1 - 10 of about 20,700 for author:bit author:twister
Results 1 - 10 of about 6,410 for author:moe author:trin


I for one, block posts from google in some news groups,
(comp.os.linux.setup, news.software.readers)

There was a fair thread about how to try blocking the spew in one
group and general convention was to kill on google posts.

That would allow me to also send abuse complaints to poster's ISP to see if
I could get his account terminated. :-)
