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.
Thanks,
I agree that this forum is very helpful. I have had my rules book and case book for just a coulple of weeks, so I am still learning a lot here and in there. There is a lot more to think about after reading those than there is sitting in the bleachers.

PS. This is a fast forum as well. Very quick answers.
