Comment FooNet/CIT/Xerox/Paul (Score 2, Interesting) 928
First let me preface that I havn't had any association/communication with Paul in years, but back in the mid-90's I Knew Paul, the owner of FooNet (Now CIT) in relation to a Small ISP I used to be a corporate officer of/part own/work for (we were the coloc host of the fledgling FooNet.net's first server 'foonix' if I recall correctly). Things could have changed since then but I very much doubt so.
Back in the day, Paul was very much into the warez/irc scene and seeing the UseNet Articles that are around about FooNet, it seems to be pretty much the same as it used to be, only quite a bit larger. I don't know that I'd actually place CIT in the 'innocent' category, as even back then he knowingly hosted practically anything and anyone that would pay him.
Evidence seems point to quite similar behavior of FooNet/CIT as I had experienced in the 90's, so, I'd say good riddence to one more large spam/DDoS host.
