I guess it may be poor manners to repost something unanswered on the
basis that if people had an answer they would reply in the first place.
It irritates me that I seem to have posts that are frequently
unanswered (approximately 2/3 of my posts). I know other people have
unanswered problems also but it doesn't seem like this occurs at such a
high proportion for them. Perhaps it's because I can usually figure
out problems myself, therefor most of my problems are too complicated
for the people on this list.
I also have another possible theory; I always try to provide as much
information as possible (one of the list guidelines), however with so
much information perhaps people can't be bothered reading through all
of it.
Maybe that's a little cynical cause I tend to take the perspective of
the cynic from time to time.

For a while now my Starcraft game has been crashing when I try to
quit
the program directly while I'm logged on to battlenet or when I try
to
log off of battlenet.
In general, it seems to be considered poor manners on mailing lists to
repost a message that didn't get a reply the first time. Especially so,
in my opinion, if you forward it rather than re-send it, so it looks
like its quoted.
If you're going to re-post, perhaps you'd like to add a note like "Very
sorry to repost this, but I didn't get any replies on or off list and
it's driving me nuts. Any mac wizards to the rescue?"
