[CQ-Contest] Random acts of kindness, Unassisted Categories, Rules, etc.

[Russell Hill]

Sounds to me as though askiing "Does you know where ...?" is soliciting 
assistance.  If after such a solicitation some assistance is received, then 
the solicitator has knowingly placed himself in the "Assisted" category, no 
matter how one sharpshoots the rules.

My $.02 wiorth.
