[For people not familiar with text databases, that means the word occurs so frequently it ceases to be useful in a query to discriminate between documents. Now, I should also qualify that the automatic stopword handling in freewais-sf is bogus because when something becomes a stopword should be keyed to the total number of documents in the databes, but freewais-sf had a hardwired threshold of 20,000 occurances. I have since boosted that limit to a more reasonable level for the size of the mailing list so Terry is no longer a stopword. But still, 20,000 occurances in the hackers list alone is an accomplishment!] -john
