At last! Someone else has finally grasped the fact that a Legacy-marriage is
*not* a marriage (civil, religious or otherwise) between two people. At its' 
basic
level, it's just a coupling that produced a child. And as Ron Taylor
painstakingly tries to explain, it's the device used to construct the beginnings
of a family group.

As I said much earlier in the piece, the choice of the word Marriage for this
linkage between two people, is poor. In earlier days, the choice was okay and
didn't give rise to all this confusion. As evidenced by this discussion, there
is much confusion out there.
