I think you took the message wrong.
Which part?
If you want to be a merit source:
Collect TEN posts that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread.
I'm not sure I understand why I would go back in history to merit posts?... I also can't understand why some people are sending smerits to satoshi when the account isn't active and I assume those merits are burned.
If posts have not received enough merit for how good they are, wouldn't they have to be from "back in history" for that statement to make sense? Also, there is a great deal of merit to satoshi's posts whether his account is active or not.
