Sorry if I wasn't more clear... I didn't mean to train _exclusively_ hams. 
Only that paying attention to training your hams really allows you to lower 
your cutoffs so that spams and not hams show up as filtered and unsure 
(after training at least some spam).  Actually, just registering hams alone 
might even be effective if you set your spam cutoff below 0.5.  For me, 
bogofilter is exponentially better at classifying hams (0 to 0.01) than 
spams (0.01 to 1.0).
