When you repost the same question four times within six hours, it 
tends to annoy people.  When that question is one that can be 
trivially answered through experimentation, reading the wiki, or 
reading the book, it tends to annoy them more.  When you don't 
show any evidence of having tried any of those things, it annoys 
them a lot.  That's just the way these sorts of group collectives 
work.

(Don't just dismiss this, read that page through.  In particular 
it tells you how to frame your questions in ways that tend to make 
people more helpful in response.)
