I not sure if you were being accused of being lazy as such but actually 
being given the suggestion that there are other places that you can find 
these answers that are probably better for a number of reasons

1) Speed, you don't have to wait for someone to reply although i hope you 
are continuing your research whilst waiting

2) Accuracy. I have not seen it here but there are some people who would 
consider it fun to provide an incorrect or dangerous solution to someone 
they though was asking too basic a question

3) Collateral learning, whilst looking for the solution it is highly 
likely that you will unearth other information that answers questions you 
have yet to raise.
