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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
