Yes, it does tolerate a deviation well. But I remember DQ saying somethnig like this. Also: "I thing bayes is a very good addition to individual rules. And when it's trained propper it works fine. " I agree on a personal scale it works wonders if you *continue* to feed it a proper diet. But when you get to a more general server side solution, I don't think the results are worth the effort, when one can write a simple rule faster then training. IMHO if it only works on a personal level, or a very small company level, its not a good solution. (Mainly because the starfish out there can't even work their microwaves, nevermind feed bayes!) --Chris
