I recently mentioned Joe Ramsey in a thread about music vs computing as brain training for the young.  He is a concert level pianist and an excellent developer of software for scientific applications.  He said he thought that discussion was interesting.  He said, "I have to say that eventually you get to a point with either one where no matter how much tinkering you try to do you are unsatisfied, and you want to do it right. Or optimally. And then your tinkering becomes imbued with careful attention to technique. And then you may as well get a job, you're done for."

The question I have is whether the similarity is mostly in the payload or mostly in the metadata. I welcome clues from any spam-gurus. I also think it depends on the extent to which your filter is crowdsourced, as well. It strikes me that GMail (and such) users have an economy of scale in recognizing spam that offline bayes filterers don't have.

It would be a fun, but maybe cruel prank to play on someone to get all your friends to mark all emails from some poor shlub as spam so that Google users worldwide began sending their emails to spam.
