I have a request for the next version update:

Can we add a comment in the bogofilter.cf file or the docs, whichever is 
appropriate, to mention:  abs(0.5 - robx) < min_dev  or else.

I know if I RTM and think it through I will figure this out on my own, 
but this parameter difference is so critical that some newbie (like 
myself) might accidently fiddle with these parameters before they fully 
understand what it is that they are doing and suffer the consequences.

Perhaps something to the effect of:
min_dev: you want to make sure your robx value is within the range of 
0.50 +/- min_dev.  If you don't then all your new tokens will be 
included in calculations and have strange results on your scores.
