I think the mods have been a bit more accommodating lately due to the anticipated influx of people due to TFA. And some of us have been answering those questions a bit more, since it seems likely that more than one person will benefit from it. But it does end up getting asked every couple of pages through the thread.
It really wouldn’t even have been of much consequence a couple months ago, but now we actually have Harmy giving us updates in his threads. So I can see why you might be frustrated.
