You talked about your propensity to answer people right there in the midst of the open space, thus contributing to the noise. I’m discussing how a side-effect of that would be to distract many other people, and then also discussing the general problem of these interruptive questions (even though I understand your line of comments was about how you will answer questions, and it was misinterpreted in other threads).

The portion you quoted does not use the word “you” to specifically refer to you personally, but to the general phenomenon of either being interrupted when someone asks a question or being disrupted when people loudly discuss an answer to the question right where everyone is trying to work, instead of moving to a separate common area like the cafeteria or a conference room, or scheduling a meeting to go over it later when it won’t disrupt people.
