In a context like this, what you ask about is equally important. No patience for searching is not an excuse since searching for information is 75% or more of the work when starting out. So, I'd say OP is not a "genius programmer" in the making...

If you act like a, polite or not, lazy person that wants to be spoon fed, you'll get a not so friendly reaction. Helping someone that has already put in the time to do at least a few searches on Google but failed to find what she was looking for is something completely different.
