Asking the question repeatedly will not change the answer. (There is no default for the UID.)

Last week I answered this *exact* question for "ramky25@gmail.com" so
either someone isn't getting the clue and thinks the answer will be
different if asked by ramky24@gmail.com or people are cutting and
pasting homework questions into the mailing list. Either way, a) look up
the prior answer and b) this is a system administration question, not a
PostgreSQL question.

Cheers,
Steve

I think you're coming down too hard on the guy.  Those two messages were
actually timestamped just a few minutes apart.  I'm betting what happened
was he posted the message from an unsubscribed account, realized his error
when he got the autoreply, and reposted it from the right account.  Some
time later, our overworked list moderators got around to approving the
original message, and it showed up here.
