When I'm in the presence of people who know more than me and I want to learn more, I never know how to ask questions that will inspire useful, specific answers. They just don't occur to me. How do you ask the right questions?

What do you want to learn more about? If there isn't an obvious answer, give yourself some time to see if an answer surfaces.

The good news is that this is the thread for vague questions which might not pan out.
