Yes, it should.  I wasn't including scores, since I didn't want to argue 
about those things on the list, but let the GA take care of it.  But I guess 
I should have indicated it for rules that'd have a negative score..

Along the same lines:

body     EZMLM                  /Hi! This is the ezmlm program\./
describe EZMLM                  ezmlm control message

score    EZMLM                  -1.0

I figured that "as seen on:" would be spammish, no matter what followed it, 
and "as seen on Oprah" would be spammish, but that there might be some 
non-spammish uses for "as seen on ".  I can't think of any non-spammish uses, 
but I wanted to be conservative...
