[CQ-Contest] The meaning of words

[Ed Parish, K1EP]

I am in SS running unassisted.  I need VT.  I am CQ'ing away on 80M, "CQ SS, looking for VT".  Some random person comes on freq and tells me unprovoked that there is a VT station calling CQ up 10 from me.  Do I ignore his "assistance", use it and remain in the unassisted category, or change categories to assisted?
