[CQ-Contest] Mult passing: is it okay to use?

[Albert Crespo]

Most hams are gracious enough to try and lend a helping hand and give out 
multipliers , if possible.
I have asked stations in the past to QSY and  make up to  four band changes. 
More then 90% of them time most are quite enthusiastic  about doing so. Many 
who do not do say just say they are just doing a single band effort or do 
not have the antennas,  and in less then  5 seconds it is resolved. No hard 
feelings.
If someone feels offended because they  are merely asked if can give out a 
new multiplier to someone on  a new band, then perhaps they should ask 
themselves what they are doing in a hobby that deals with "communications."

So, Rob - if I would ask you really politely (on CW) :
"DR ROB CAN U QSY TO xx MHZ NOW PSE WE NEED U ON xx"?
Would it be polite enough for you?
Just curious.
