Ward, I think you have hit the nail on the head. This is the best solution
I've seen with all the bs that has been floating around this reflector. My
delete key is getting worn out.
Thanks for a livable solution.

I've got a better idea - how about we get **RID** of the word "assisted"
entirely? It is far too vague to be of any use when we are really talking
about sources and movement of information. I suggest SO and SO-Unlimited if
we're to have two categories. If three, then SO, SO-Plus, and SO-Unlimited.
Then the sponsors can state the definitions and there won't be any arguing
about what constitutes "assistance." The next debate will be about what
"single" and "operator" mean, of course.
Even better - maybe the categories should be named Red, Blue, and Green so
the category name is removed from the debate completely and thoroughly.
