Oh really? The file the install plopped into place could've fooled me...

So ... as a score "normalizer" and "sign changer" .... I do believe
I'm correct in stating that this is a "default" (very ... relative...
term that;-).

So... If one don't want to have crm114 as the "sole deciding factor",
but rather as just another "score contributor"... I'd say the -0.005
would be reasonable... -0.2 would potentially give very high values.
