One benefit of taking speech and debate classes is not just learning to talk in front of crowds, but being willing to get that word in edgewise . . . both the timing of the remark, and the accurate placement of it in the conversational flow.
One major drawback, particularly in fannish circles, is that I'm often seen as a pushy, arrogant SOB. I've learned to live with it. Then again, I keep coming back as a panel moderator, including the signal honor of moderating "how to moderate" panels twice.
