[CQ-Contest] Single-Op - Stop the Rot

In starting this thread, my intent was to highlight the lack
of logic shown by some contest organisers in allowing external
assistance in so-called single operator categories.

I have no objection to a "single-op assisted" category where
external assistance is permitted.

On the other hand, I strongly object to contests, and to contest
organisers, that do not distinguish between "single-op" and
"single-op assisted", and that do not include a separate
"single-op" category.
