An intermediate contribution from the originator of this discussion:

I have noticed one rather remarkable thing.  Of those responses
which I've seen so far (4 on the net, a couple in my mail, not
enough yet to bother summarizing), one attitude has been exceed-
ingly clear: people are concerned about a MAN who is married,
and the effects on him and his WIFE.  (I'll step way [WAY!] out
on a limb, and suggest that people may have a societally-reinforced
fear of "the other woman.")  During the original question/answer
session (and it was a long time ago, I may not be remembering
entirely accurately), there was more concern expressed about
the married WOMAN assigned to the launch substations, and the
problems for her and her HUSBAND.  (Another long, weak limb: men's
egos lead to too much jealousy?  [Pulling on my asbestos gloves.])

As I said, just an intermediate contribution, no real conclusions
drawn yet.

Enjoying this particular discussion immensely,
Karl Kleinpaste

(can anybody parse the options in that path?)

P.S.  Immediately on leaving 'vi' on this article the first time, I
discovered to my pleasure that 3 more opinions had arrived in the
mail.  Thanx!  The volume is definitely increasing; I'll summarize
next Tuesday or Wednesday if this keeps up.
