Well that's true, but it's a bit much to complain when they obviously weren't concerned enough to contribute. I suspect it would only require one user submitting a set of classified ham and spam to have a significant effect on the scores the GA runs allocate. The problem is to find that user. For me, I take a perverse pleasure in wasting a few seconds over each spam in a bid to "do something" about the problem, even though I get relatively few of them (always less than 10 a day, currently). Perhaps if I did get dozens a day, I'd be less relaxed about spending time on them. (As it is, I report spam that's not already razor'd, and that takes ~30 seconds per message on my 486.)
