Hi all,
      i've just signed in the email group. please tell me if any mistakes.
      i'm asking suggestion for my testing result.

      i'm using spambayes src codes, to apply in person classifying: 
personal or organization.
      basically use Tester and Bayes codes:

from spambayes.classifier import Bayes
from spambayes.Options import options
from spambayes.Tester import Test, _Example

tokenizing sample, add 'user:' to username field:
         username: user:...
         description: ...
         vip: True/False

the result i got now is appended,  400~4k samples used to train and predict.
method: use 90% to train, rest 10% to test. average 10 times to get result.

5-5-img3.png:
options["Categorization", "ham_cutoff"] = 0.5
options["Categorization", "spam_cutoff"] = 0.5
false_positive_rate still climbing at 4k samples.

4-8.5-....png:
options["Categorization", "ham_cutoff"] = 0.4
options["Categorization", "spam_cutoff"] = 0.85
unsure_rate still climbing. false_positive_rate climbing slowly. If add 
both, result in similar as 0.5-.0.5 cutoff

Is this normal in spambayes app? Any wrong  in my usage? thanks a lot.
