Hi rp,

Nope.  No responses.  

Thinking about whay you said, my thought is that together "min_dev" and
"0.5" create an exclusion interval around 0.5.  

Currently, bogofilter's default is:

   min_dev=0.375

A more generic behavior would be to replace that with:

   excl_min = 0.125 # minimal value excluded
   excl_max = 0.875 # maximum value excluded

or:

   excl_ctr=0.500   # center of exclusion interval
   excl_siz=0.375   # size of exclusion interval

Folks is this a good idea or a bad one?  Anybody want to test to see how
this affects accuracy?

Regards,

David
