    Amedee> amedee at elbereth { ~ }$ ./spamstats
    Amedee>  Spam: 2415 Ham: 651

    Amedee> That's 3.7:1, and it's increasing.

One of the reasons I can keep a nearly 1:1 ratio is that when it gets a bit
out of whack I simply delete some old spam.  In my experience the nature of
spam changes over time while the nature of ham rarely does.  I also use
train-to-exhaustion which only trains in fixed ratios.
