I agree completely. Not that I have yet answered more questions than I have
asked ... :) But you should make an effort to answer other people's
questions, even if you might not give the definitive version, because
nothing helps one understand a topic better than trying to explain it to
someone else! Then you really have to think about it in a general and at the
same time clear manner. So, the "background noise" questions are an
opportunity to practice and find things out for yourself, as well as help
someone else out.

My two cents ...
