  <p>A useful(?) glossary of terminology</p>
  <dl>
! <dt>spam<dd>broadly speaking: any email that's not wanted by the
!     end-user.  More specifically: unsolicited bulk email; email
!     that you do not want and did not ask for, and was sent to
!     a whole bunch of people by automated means at the same time
!     it was sent to you.  This definition deliberately excludes viruses
!     and those stupid jokes sent to you by your Aunt Tillie.
      
! <dt>ham<dd>the opposite of spam; not necessarily email that you want or
!     that you asked for, just anything that's not unsolicited bulk email.
! <dt>false negative<dd>a spam that's incorrectly classified as ham.
! <dt>false positive<dd>a ham that's incorrectly classified as spam.
! <dt>f-n, FN<dd>(abbrev.) false negative
! <dt>f-p, FP<dd>(abbrev.) false positive
! <dt>corpus<dd> in this context, a body of messages. Usually referring to a
! training database. (plural is corpora).
! <dt>hapax, hapax legomenon <dd>a word or form occurring only once in a 
! document or corpus. (plural is hapax legomena).
! <dt>training<dd>The process of feeding spambayes some sample spam and ham messages, to teach it what to look for.
! <dt>Bayesian<dd>A form of statistical analysis used (in a form) in Paul Graham's
! initial "Plan for Spam" approach. Now used as a kind of catch-all term for 
! this class of filters, no doubt horrifying statisticians everywhere.
