Polite conversations here and there are perfectly fine, even welcome, and even when they interrupt my reading. I'm not the curmudgeonly and unfriendly type that glowers at anyone making contact when I'm in public, if my posts were coming across as that.

I understand. I'm basically a friendly person, but sometimes I want to talk to people, sometimes I don't. I'm sure that was really frustrating to be stuck on a plane where there was no way you could get away from the chatty person.
