I don't recall the Crea episode.  I am aware of Joel's case.  By all of the
normal appearances, I can say that it certainly appears to have come from
compuserve.com (high degree of confidence) but not necessarily from Joel
himself - could have been any compuserve user (and we have quite a few here).

I don't want to elaborate too much (thought it isn't hard to figure out); I
do not want to make it easier for more people to fake messages.  You can
nail it down to the real originator but you need the co-operation of a node
manager on the originating end and it wasn't worth my time or effort in this
case (though I do this routinely in my job for cases involving our domain).
