Is there any kind of general write up on how this thing works?

I have a lot of questions regarding how razor does things, maybe I just
need some confirmation on some assumptions:

Razor uses razor-report to get feedback from the community on what is
spam.  It uses razor-revoke to correct for false reports.

Both of these feedback mechanisms require >1 report ( >= $limit ).
These feedbacks are weighted against the person giving the feedback.

This is where I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that:

When I start giving feedback using razor-report, all my information is
considered a guideline at best until I can get enough confirmations that
my claims to spam from other people that I've established a confidence
level and my feedback starts getting considered as valid input.

Similarly, if I start throwing a lot of stuff that is inconsistent with
other reporting feedback, my credibility drops and hence my significance
of contribution drops.

That's one part that I don't really understand.
The other part is how/if razor can descriminate or accomodate changes in
the emails like:

interchanging username in the "Dear $user" lines in the email.

variations in the HEADER information, particularly From:

Are other HEADER tags used?  The implication here is if I to razor-report
on filtered spam, I'm including X-Headers like X-Bogosity, X-Spam-Level
and others that are unique to my mail server.  I'm curious to know if I
need to strip these out (formail -X) before I submit them to razor-report.

Stuff like that....
