The electronic trail DOES NOT INDICATE ANYTHING which includes not indicating the posting originated from a govt or institutional computer. It also includes not indicating the posting came from a private computer or a spaceship from mars.

We are back to "depends on what the meaning of is is"

Obtaining an IP address, and the domain from which it comes is easy and available without going *inside* a business or entity. They can tell if it was a private ISP or a government ISP by the address itself.

Once you know it is a private ISP, getting that ISP to divulge the owner if the IP address, which is most likely a dynamic IP address and therefore depends on the time that it was obtained, is now getting into the account of the ISP and divulging its client's identity which would require a subpoena.

Governmental agencies and most companies have static IP addresses which are assigned to them, either singly or in blocks....or by their ISP. Who owns those addresses is public knowledge.

Not a .org or .edu address.

Besides that, who the hell are "sources"? I always consider them imaginary friends...
