A Tale of Two Sisters

[JoeHill]

Hi all,

As you may gather from the subject this is about my two sisters, whom I've been
trying to train bogofilter as 'ham' (oh, the irony).

It was kinda hit and miss for both, so I sat down today and did training on a
whole *whack* of mail from each sister (about 20MB each)

One seems to be going okay:

However, sister #2 is not faring as well:

Why would one seem to 'learn', and not the other (once again, irony, if you knew
my sisters :-\)
