Yesterday, I received 414 messages from debian mailing lists.  By far,
the most voluminous is debian-user.  Plus, debian lists are targets for
spammers -- I do not understand the rationale; but, I have quite the
corpus from those lists.  Worse, I have other mailing list examples.

Yes, I know.  All those (apparently) do are zero out the current AWL,
then build again.

I have turned OFF AWL completely, and have already noticed that AWL
negative scores have positive counterparts.  Now, lack of those positive
AWL scores are increasing my grey-area scores (5 - 6).

What do you think?
