Side note: Both joe and bob would have trouble proving in court that their addresses were sold, not guessed.

Individually, it doesn't seem convincing, but if you find multiple instances (individuals), in their own different styles, and all the addresses are in the same mailing list... I think it can have significant weight. Alternative would be what? Someone framing the service provider? Or joe and bob and maybe others staging it? Possible, but frankly, not very likely. I think the service provider would have at least have some explaining to do.
what if each local part was something long & random?
