As I mentioned in another post, I have my score set at 4.0, and I've only had one false positive since November. That low of a score may be a bit radical for anyone else, but it works for me. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Derek Jennings: http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=15 for his Bayes rules example, which is what I use in my own /user_prefs as well, plus I've added these two lines: score HTML_10_20 2.0 score HTML_20_30 2.2 I'm hoping all this is of help, e.
