Sure.  The main point I was trying to get accross was the negative score 
for known sigs because it would help compensate for the drawbacks that 
we've been discussing in this thread.

Since some of the spam rules that have been proposed would pick-up PGP 
sigs, I suggest adding a negative score for known sigs to compensate (and 
also because a known sig is a high indicator of hamminess).
