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.
