Thanks for that Tim.  It's been a few years since I've done maths...I was playing around with number (a non-broken version), and came to much the same conclusion myself, but without the nice theory.

I think this is still the case.  If there is going to be a minor increase in testing again, which is the better option, to have ham_cutoff==spam_cutoff, or to update to reveal unsure info?  (I suspect the latter).

Thanks again.  [Must think more before posting.  Must think more before posting. Must think...]
