Am I hurting my Bayes db by training it with HAM that has the text "(spam)" in the subject line of the message?
IMHO not. A word "spam" in not the most significiant spam fingerprint. Tell me the truth - how many spams have you seen with this word in their subjects? :) Probably it's not a spam fingerprint at all, just like you don't recognize a thief with a 'thief' sign on his t-shirt. :)
