This is very interesting, Michael, because I agree, Bayesian based
systems definitely have always seemed to have problems in my experience
(start out pretty good, then go downhill from there), and maybe what you
are describing is the precise reason for it. It would be awesome if you
could find the time to write up a little how-to for this and put it up
on the wiki (or have you done so already?), complete with some example
regex's that you have found to help.
Anyway, thanks already for everything you've described up to now.
You're welcome. I only hope its useful information to the minority of
us that have experienced this problem. I count 8-10 people so far that
are in agreement with my off-line of the list, but I know there are
countless more that use other Bayesian-based products.
I don't like to bring this issue up, because as Fritz *rightfully*
points out, this is not the way the Bayesian filtering is meant to
function. But, perhaps that needs to be re-thought, because in some
organizations Bayesian functionality begins to spiral degrade after a
few months of normal use.
I have thought about writing something up for the Wiki specifically in
regards to this issue, but this is still more of a personal hypothesis
than a fact - and I don't want to add needless confusion to any new or
existing users until there is more of a consensus that this is indeed a
problem and viable solution.
When I get to writing an article explaining the reRe, I will also add
some of my basic Regular Expressions as I did with the bombRe and
scriptRe article - but I won't be adding everything that I use to avoid
pollution, as it would not be applicable to all users.
