>There are 259 stars within about 30 light years. Communication could be conceivable with such distances...

Wouldn't that mean a minimum of 60 years to get a reply to any message?

Terrible latency but still possible to conceive communicating. Also 60 years would be the upper bound for those stars, unless you are suggesting crafting a reply takes a significant amount of time. Which it may. No need to rush a reply with that time lag.
