I have no clue how you have enough merit to continue this thread, but I appreciate you getting around to my request and throwing some merit my way. If you don't mind me asking, are you far behind on the reviews, do you do them in a strange order or have you looped back around to my request just recently?
I honestly was not expecting to receive merit as a result of this thread, but now that I have I just wanted to pop in for a few questions and to say thanks. 14 merit still seems like the strangest amount, but you won't catch me complaining

You earned it, because all the people vying for his merit on the last page or two have been total shitposters (in my opinion). I can't believe some of these people actually think their posts deserve merit. Most of them deserve the neutral "shitposter" tag.
