Indeed... conversation is good.
One problem, however, is that so few are either willing or capable of discourse and dialogue, either at length, or cogently.
It's the "headline" mentality.
Which, in reality, is no mentality at all.
It's like saying "my back itches" and then walking off when someone is ready, willing and able to scratch if for you.
Or, saying "I sure am hungry," then passing by an invitation to a hot meal.
