Hello Matt,

Thank you for this useful librbary.
I am trying to use it to analyse the project of text for the european 
constitution (Is it social? liberal? respectful of human rights?) I am 
doing this for myself, just out of curiosity, there is no responsibility 
or any liability involved in the usage of the classifier or in the result.
I'd like to know what the behaviour of the training of a classifier is 
when two different set of words are submitted in two successive "train" 
method invocations for a given category. Does the second invocation 
resets the training or does it accumulate the "experience" progressively.

Thanks again ...
Jean-Pierre
