On Mon, 12 May 2003 the voices made David Relson write:

 Almost, instead of replacing any tokens these would be added with a
max/minimum score.

DR> to designate the "Unsure" switch.)

 The spammish/hammish tokens would be added on top of the existing ones, so
you'd end up with this many tokens.

 100 words/tokens, 50 MIN_DEV-eliminated, 30 spammish and 20 hammish tokens
from the text used; resulting in this many spammish/hammish tokens to be used:

	Spammish	Hammish
 -U1	30		40
 -U2	30		30
 -U3	30		20
 -U4	40		20
 -U5	50		20
