I want to ask more about how to give merit, because I want to give my friend a little bit of merit. But I only gave it once.
Why ?
Why did you (and many others like you, it seems) quote the entire first post?
Your question makes no sense, otherwise - why did you give your friend merit only once? Uh, probably because you only gave it once...

It is difficult to decipher but I'm going with his question makes no sense because he may have quoted the whole OP but he didn't bother reading it. He probably gave his
alt friend the one and only sMerit he got in the initial distribution and doesn't know he isn't getting any more.
