Some times I envy the data available to those of you with users.  If you
can get 100,000 spams, and 100,000 non-spams together, you could run the
SA results through the re-scorer used to generate sa-updates, and have
scores fully optimized for your own users.  

And then you could give that data to the SA project to make it more
accurate for everybody else.  

I still feel like there's some good opportunity along these lines for
shared bayes.
