No we're catechising for the benefit of others. A lurking Catholic or Lutheran will learn what his position and language should be, and why.
Are you saying this is for the benefit of people who belong to the same church as the poster, but aren't as well-versed in the dogma as they should be? That's an interesting angle I hadn't thought of.

That's an interesting angle I hadn't thought of. That's exactly what I am saying. I have learned volumes online by watching other apologists. Now I do my part to pass on what I have learned.
That's part of how the Church passes on its Faith, especially when official channels are not up to the task.
