But the numbers most people will remember from this article will be the ones with the 100% of lwn@lwn.net messages, since they are the ones showing the most striking advantage in favour of Bogofilter. And, as Bockman says, that is the least realistic test case of all, since you previously optimized the filter for precisely that set of messages. Perhaps you should make a note in the article itself to warn people who don't read the comments of that circumstance?
(Otherwise than that and overlooking spamc/spamd, great articles, as always :-)).
