Since we started a few weeks ago, here are the stats:

Spam: 730
Ham: 16,585
Missed spam: 22
False positives: 115

That's about a 99.992% effectiveness, which I think is pretty darn good 
for an entirely new corpus of data for Akismet to deal with.

Just because one person got wrongly caught, don't forget the big picture.
