It always amazes me how people can be so declarative about "the way it
is", and so narrowly interpretive of it, when expressing their own
personal views.
For example, if I happen to read/decode CW off a waterfall display with
no other decoding I'm pretty certain that does not put me in an assisted
category ... but then, at least I'm willing to express that as opinion
and not fact.

I am really puzzled and exasperated by this continued debate as to what
constitutes assistance. What is there not to understand?
Let's get back to basics. Our hobby is ham radio, radio being the operative
word. Radio, cw or voice, is an audio mode, not in any way a visual mode, we
detect it by hearing and information acquired in any other way is assistance -
end of.
If guys use any other means of gathering information, including cw decoders,
then what is the big deal why they should not enter the 'Assisted' category?
Beats me.
