[CQ-Contest] Eliminate SO Unassisted?

[Julius Fazekas]

Hi David,

I respectfully disagree... There is by far more honor
and honesty in contesting than there is cheating.
Cheats have a higher profile and "sell more papers".

We should give more attention to the folks who go the
extra mile in making contesting enjoyable and more
accessible to non-contesters IMHO.
