I'm all in favor of making Akismet a good dog! (see: http:// 
trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3529)

But with high-level users, it seems to me that we could  
automattically (I swear I can't spell that word correctly anymore  
because of you) train it based on a locally pre-determined ham/spam  
decision.  For users with posting capabilities, you just watch for  
Akismet's response, and then silently mark as ham if Akismet returns  
spam.  It's like one of those dog collars that zaps the dog if it  
barks too much, without owner intervention.  That'd certainly forward  
Akismet's goal of "just works."
