Discussion
[edit]- Can you give some more details? Is this to be restricted to particular classes of dab? What's the precise nature of the manual assistance? This sounds potentially error-prone (though possibly no worse than many people are already doing under their main accounts -- I've seen some amazingly sloppy DABs done 'by hand').
