Re: a way to set scores for new rules in updates

[Loren Wilton]

Bob had a technique that worked reasonably well, and only required some 
minor human thought to usually come up with good numbers.  I'm pretty sure 
that it took overlap into account.  (Although the overlap runs may have been 
something he did manually, I don't recall.)

He seems to be gone to other places now, but I'm pretty sure he left a 
description of how his masscheck and score generation worked someplace 
around here, probably in the archives of the newsgroup.

I think it would be worth looking into, since it didn't require much more 
than some slightly modified masscheck tools, as best I recall.
