Myself, I am on that list of all-time most generous merit-senders, but the catch is that I don't merit anyone who writes crappy English--unless the post is particularly useful and I can reasonably understand it.  Sadly, most posts forum-wide don't meet those criteria.  I love handing out merits to posts that deserve it, but the vast majority of posts by the non-native English writers aren't even constructive.  Most are vapid nonsense obviously designed to meet the minimum number of characters such that the writer will get paid from the campaign he's in.
