Extending stopwords list

Hi

I have configured MySQL to ignore stopwords from file
/etc/my.stopwords. While playing around with myisam_ftdump
I found that my fulltext index contains about a dozen words which are so
common that they have a negative weight.

Would it be a good idea to include these words in the stopwords file? Will
this improve results for users?

Any insight is welcome.

Thomas
