So do you think it is better for bayes if you try to keep this ratio more toward 50/50? I find it is much harder to train HAM than it is SPAM. But if a bad ratio is going to hurt things, one could shut down the SPAM trainer.
Basically, is too much SPAM a bad thing?
I'd say "ideal" is 50/50.. But mine is *WAY* off from that and I have no problems.. I would not worry about ratios, but I would try to configure it for as close as possible without going through any major trouble to do it.
I take measures to try and up my ham training whenever I find an easy way to do it, but I don't loose sleep over it.
I really meant it when I said these phrases in my post:
Of course, my all-of-history ratio is about 96:4, and my recent training ratio is 90:10 (past day).
Really, I think ratios are helpful, but a fresh feed of both seems more important. I totally agree with the above. between autolearn and forced training scripts, SA learns quite a bit of mail.
