In my mind it keeps me focused on the game. Based on your question, do you feel this information is not necessary? Am I considering things that are wasting my time?

Splute,
If it makes you feel better, more confortable, then that's what is most important, I s'pose. Personally, I do my best to stay as far away from the table as possible, and, unless I have something, or my partner(s) has something, I try to stay away from partner(s), too.
Away from everyone and "dead ball officiating" is where I regain my focus, not by talking to other folks.
