Ad hominem attacks don't validate your position. Reasoned,
evidence-based arguments validate your position.
this mail is originating from some earthlink.net IP address; the return

valid for me to be using
that return address to send mail from that IP, or from any other IP that
my laptop happens to be connected to.

Ah. So it's an axiomatic property of the network, and you're
unwilling or unable to justify your position. Thanks for verifying
that little bit of nonsense.
yes. furthermore, it would be undesirable to force people to connect to
servers that verified their identities.
Why?
Oh, never mind. You've made it clear that you have no intention of
