It's surprising that such a message "a conversation can never be useless" could come from someone who so sarcastically writes a comic strip. That was shocking to me when I read your blog. According to Scott Adams of Dilbert fame almost all conversations are useless, at least in the office context.
And one other point to make - sometimes the most gracious way of giving someone some of your precious time is by listening, not conversing/speaking. That might be an even better way to show respect, courtesy and appreciation. After all, we've all heard the saying "there is a reason why God gave you two ears and only one mouth".
