[TowerTalk] Guy rod stress

Part of a recent thread referred to wanting the ability to change a guyed 
tower's height at some date after initial construction.  While a noble goal to 
plan ahead, I wonder what kind of added stress occurs in the guy rod if at rest 
it is not pointing to the approximate center of the tower?  Is it something to 
worry about?
