This may be somewhat inappropriate on this thread (although definitely related). I just went to www.harrad2000.com which is author Robert H. Rimmer's (The Harrad Experiment, Proposition 31, etc.) to add to this thread and discovered that he passed away last August 1.

Bob was a social-sexual philosopher and believed in relationships, not institutions. His novels researched many alternative "marriage" situations. He and I corresponded in the 1970s but have been in only sporadic contact for a number of years. And now we can't be in touch at all. He used to send me books instead of flowers and was a major influence on my attitudes towards life and loving. I miss him.
