I think you should make a separate thread for your merit awards and explanations........................
I gave you a merit because I liked your logic.
I might have been influenced by the fact that I've just gone through 5 pages of the beginners board, and I couldn't find one post to award.

The post were either about things that I didn't want to award for ICOs, Merit, alts ( should have been on an alt board), or had a title that was meaningless, etc.
