Given the number of fly-posted adverts for "grate oppertooneries to wurk at 
home" that have cjb.net domains, I'm inclined to assume that there's nothing 
worth visiting at a cjb.net site.  Couple that with the recent "Playstation 
Underwear" Usenet spam that was also based on Usenet, and it's clear that 
they'll give an FQDN to anyone.  Of course, couple it with the fact that 
"Playstation Groundunder" also placed a follow-up spam to declare that their 
ISP had "been a real bitch" and removed their site, it's possible that 
cjb.net ain't quite a black hat.

Alun.
