Hey Bill...
Firstly, Forgive the intrusion... but Apparently I have some "spare" sMerit... However, I'm not really finding many posts worthy except for usual suspects like DannyH, achow101, nullius etc. Having said that, I do have a relatively limited subset of boards that I tend to follow.
I was thinking of starting a thread similar to yours... but then figured there was no point "doubling up"... and decided it would probably just be counter-productive and lead to "merit review spamming" from the lower ranks looking for extra merit. Call me cynical

Anyway, I'd like to help out... so if you find some worthy posts but have run out of sMerit, drop me a PM with the candidates you think deserve some (extra?) merit and I'll see what I can do
Note to everyone else: DO NOT PM me looking for merit... anyone who does so will NEVER receive merit from me... EVER! If you think your post is worthy, post it here according to Bill's rules!
