I don't understand what you mean by "conversation" in this context. I 
mean, I say hello when they come to me, I nod understandingly, I thank 
them for the feedback, I may ask for more information... is this 
conversation? I don't know what you mean by "conversation" so I can't 
really determine the answer.
