Some of the very *worst* communicators on an emotional level are ``college- educated yuppie types.'' They (not *all* yuppies) have so many expectations and theories as to what their relationships *should* be like that they often can't see their own feelings clearly, much less their partner's. You don't have to study Keats or Shakespeare to know how to say ``I love you''. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
