Not necessarily true.
I've seen MANY "real" people from these mailing lists, post those kinds of things. What that means is that often their Yahoo account username/password was compromised. That usually happens, when they visit some rogue website, and are enticed into entering their Yahoo account information (the typical phishing concept). So, if the person who sent this was a participating member of this list, that's probably what happened, and the person probably isn't even aware that it happened.
The other way this can happen, is from someone who sends that post to the list, using a member of this list's e-mail address as the "return address" in their e-mail. Heck, I can configure my e-mail client and send e-mails to this list making it look like it came from you. Yahoo only looks at the "from" line of an e-mail to determine whether or not it should be posted to the group.
So, its premature to say that Ed Garcia is a spammer. If you look back, you'll see he did participate in discussions here. Ed is most likely a victim too.
