Heck, even *I* get lazy in my confirmations... lol.   What I
like most  
is the digest feature... when a few spam slip through
(anyone else get  
a surge last night?) I look for the most recent digest, mark
the ones  
it misclassified, and then hit the "confirm all"
link at the bottom.

That usually gets the bayes back in line.
