I am not processing this data specifically for creating block lists. I wouldn't dare offer a computer generated list as an authoritative source since it would most likely contain a number of missed sites and also false positives.

There are plenty of other applications. For example, if a webmaster wanted to find similar adult sites for link trades, and his niche was "teen" it would not always be possible to determine whether it was an adult site based solely on the domain name.
