	Now yer gettin' it!


	Actually Hans, my definition of assisted and yours are the same.  
Organized systems to tell people where other people are. Maybe a  
little like speed dating.

	We all "know" what assisted is- it's the nets, the clusters, that  
sort of thing. It's organized.
	
	The rule is vague though. But perhaps I miss the point, which might  
be that everyone just likes to argue about it, so it shouldn't be  
changed?
