[CQ-Contest] Is it time that the contest sponsors officially identify SCP as "assisted?"

[Jim Lawrence]

Yes I do!  I also remember slugging thru 40 hours of the sweepstakes 
using paper logs, paper dupe check sheets and a "bug."  The computer, 
computer logging/dupe checking, is by far the biggest form of 
"assistance" I can think of.

The annual "what constitutes assisted"  thread is silly in comparison to 
what my computer does for me in a contest by automating basic functions 
such as logging, dupe checking and keying.

I can now submit my log within minutes of the end of a contest.  In the 
paper days it took upwards of a month.  I appreciate the "assistance" my 
computer provides
