This is precisely what makes the idea so intriguing. It's the
*cumulative* effect of the 15 most conspiquous words that makes a
message "spam" or "not spam". This avoids the very problem mentioned of
the graduation with honors "mistake".

BTW, I would never advocate that anyone use my filters verbatim. I'm
filtering for precisely *three* people; myself and the husband and wife
owners of the site, and we have *very* similar standards when it comes
to what constitutes spam. The larger the "audience", the less you can
use single words to filter.
