Although a fantastic place to extract and spread knowledge, sadly this can be a ruthless place too.
When I was 16 I would have asked a similar question. In fact, when I was 16 I didn't know what an approach plate was so that's one up for you.
Can I suggest you stick up for yourself and retaliate when you receive sarcasm. Comments along the line of "ignorant old bas***ds" might help you get any frustration out.
Alternatively, change your user name and come back keeping certain things like plans to video your first solo to yourself.
This is meant to be constructive so please spare me a lecture Whirly.
Best regards
