The nice thing about the forum is that if you do jump in with your thoughts, if they turn out to be wrong (or even just missing small pieces) someone will generally fix it for you.

Definitely get in and participate. It's a great way to learn. I'm a better official for having participated in many discussions, even before I had a good knowledge of the rules. I'm still learning pretty much every time I get on here. Sometimes it's a detail that I knew before but lost or got confused with something else, and every once in a while I learn to look at a situation in a totally new way.

Beyond the cut-and-dried rules discussions, the philosophies on game management, good positioning, crew communication, etc, are invaluable.
