False Positive

[David Relson]

Life is always interesting.  I just ordered new headsink/fans and case
fans because my new mobo overheats when my home office is hot.  The
order acknowledgement scored at 0.511130, which is spam at my site.
Naturally I checked to see why this happened.  Using "-vvv" switches I
learned that the following tokens were the scoring set:

"FAN"                                11  0.000146  0.000000  0.000887 +
"$47.65"                              2  0.000026  0.000000  0.004844 +
"Coolermaster"                        1  0.000013  0.000000  0.009604 +

"href"                            55930  0.053746  0.819388  0.938444 +
"rtrn:sales"                         30  0.000026  0.000442  0.943246 +
"QTY"                                46  0.000040  0.000679  0.944569 +
"from:sales"                         60  0.000040  0.000900  0.957604 +
"tracking.asp"                       21  0.000013  0.000316  0.959406 +
"$5.65"                               1  0.000000  0.000016  0.992115 +
"Thermaltake"                         1  0.000000  0.000016  0.992115 +

The first few are not surprising, but the last two are quite surprising.
 "$5.65" is the shipping and handling charge and "Thermaltake" is the
case fan manufacturer.

Checking further, I found that "$5.65" was in a "Home delivery as low as
$2.90 a week" message to my daughter in Oct 2002 and that "Thermaltake"
was in a "Gifts for Geeks" message to my son in Dec 2002.

'Tis amusing how unrelated tokens can gang together and produce a
problematical result.

Enjoy,

David
