    Er, didn't Craig just say, and in the part you quoted as well? To 
train a spam filter you have to have spam to throw at it. While it may 
be possible to just wait for spam to come along it's usually more 
convenient to throw a bunch now while you're in the mood for training 
it, than later when it gets in the way of what you will want to do then.
