FWIW, my FN rate has dropped back to what I consider normal (the
Nigerian business-deals and maybe 3-6 others per day) with my latest
retraining, even though I remain at 50:1 trained (with TOAE). I
assume I got enough counter-examples to offset the mistake I made,
since I haven't gone through to find the mistake yet (still working
on updating my installation to latest code and separating my mail
into monthly directories).
