It's got to be said the more you read this thread the more you'll understand why the merit system is in place.
I'd recommend it to anyone new, at least a few pages

If someone gives time to read all the pages in the thread and go through the responses made in the queries, he will get a lot of edge over other members in getting merits. There are approx 10-20 queries about merits here daily and if you are able to give appropriate reply to them, you can certainly get some merits.
If you do not have the time to go through all the pages, read at least 20 pages from the beginning and the new members should read the OP at least 4-5 times.
