Corley himself denies posting this "apology", but I'm impressed if it
is a forgery.
 
Here's the header of my received email.  It looks very genuine except
for the fact that postings to newsgroups are directed through demon's
mail to news gateway, which is strange.
 
Also the message id is  which seems
to be in a different format from previous Corley postings, e.g.
<DFJJB3.6Ft.0.bloor@torfree.net
 
The mail seems to have been received directly from mail.torfree.net.
 
One way of telling for sure would be if anyone on the recipient list
contacted torfree, but did not publish any complaints on the newsgroups
- he would not have had access to their address in that case.
