Hello - I noticed something that I think might be a problem with the
userSimilarity computation in the AbstractSimilarity class. After
updating the running sums, the method checks the value of compare and
moves to the next preference value in the list that has the smaller item
index, or both if they are both on the same item. It breaks out of the
loop if it is at the end of the preference list(s) that it needs to get
the next value of. The problem is that it doesn't take into account if
there is a preference inferrer -- if it is at the end of one of the
lists, it will break out of the loop even if there is a preference
inferrer. This results in ignoring the rest of the items in the other
users preferences.

Am I missing something or does this need to be corrected?

Thanks for your help,
-Abigail
