Tim's concerns seem to center on the very individual definition of what ham
is. I think I
remember an earlier concession about a more common definition of what spam
is.
Perhaps we need a starter database that has a predefined set of spam
probabilities, to which one could
add ones own ham (and additional spam). I have a lot more ham than spam
available, and I've been
saving spam for months, against a rainy day -- or a project like this. If
somebody jump started
my spam collection, I'd be a happy camper.
