I’ve organized all my thoughts on conversation in one place, in a free email newsletter…
You can click “let me read it first…” and see everything if you don’t want to subscribe to it in your email. 
It came up in yesterday’s campfire that I’d not mentioned that newsletter at all. If you just went, “omg how many things is Craig doing?” I also have a new Projects page over on the blog for that.

Don’t you think maybe there is one insect choice between fly and hornet?
Well done. Thoughtful. I think I would have added a bit about how to choose the person with whom you converse. As you well know some people do not, nor will they ever get the knack of conversation because they either like the sound of their own voice or are too attached to their opinion.
