Hi Chris,

As a thought ...

If I recall correctly, you've using the same priority, i.e. 1, for your
user and system lists. That'll check both databases for each word, add
the counts together, and compute the probability.

If I was setting up user and system lists, my inclination would be to
make the personal user list the primary (#1) and the global system list
the secondary (#2).  That setup would have bogofilter check the user
list first and, if the token is found, use those values.  The system
list would only be used when a token isn't in the user list.  This
primary/secondary setup makes the user's personal list the king!

Regards,

David
