It gets frustrating when people come on here for help, get asked the same questions over and over again and either don't answer or answer so late, it doesn't matter anymore.

There is a spectrum of people on this forum. Some who are serious about this hobby and some who are not. Some who are knowledgeable and some who are not. Some who have alot of time to pursue this hobby and some who don't. Some who have been at it for a long time some that are new. Etc. Etc. Etc.
A typical "I need help thread" starts with someone saying "I have a problem with ...." followed by responses that come from people suggesting do this or do that, check this or check that or give me more information please. Etc.
The op gets to choose what advise they take or questions they answer or how quickly they respond. Based on what they think is going to help them and in a time frame that their busy or not so busy lives allows them to do.
Some people like to follow along with the journey quietly and others participate. Those who participate I hope are doing so because they like to help people and don't expect anything in return. It's nice when people show appreciation but if you are expecting gratitude or someone to listen to you and only you or that they respond in a time frame that suits you then you might want to take a hard look at why you are helping people to begin with. Is it for them or for you? We have to remind ourselves that we all have egos and they want to be fed.
If the op doesn't respond to your request in the time frame you deem proper, why get angry? Your out nothing but time spent on a forum you like to spend time on.
