And kudos on you for keeping your cool in this post. We knew that a lot of people would scold you for being impatient, and that it can be incredibly annoying to have to repeat yourself. Unfortunately, many people don't read the comments before commenting themselves, so even if things have already been explained, repeating happens.
I personally recommend from now on to either ask for a deadline upfront (and be prepared to possibly pay a fee for that) or keep your inquiries to roughly once a month, depending on the type of commission. That's what I do myself.
