the top senders
I'm on that list of most generous merit-givers, but I'm not a merit source. It just happened that I was legendary when the merit system was started, and I'm also on the top-merited member list as well, AND I've given all of my sMerits away so far--so I ended up with a lot of sMerits from the airdrop in January and from other members, and because I didn't hoard them I could be mistaken for a merit source. It isn't so.
Therefore, from that list you can't tell who's a merit source with 100% certainty. I would suspect that most of them are, but who knows.
I have seen them giving away a lot of merits for good cause.
Yeah, I'm trying.
