This merit source thing is a real nightmare. Sometimes I think I should give up and play with domains and bashing globalists. 
I had to go back 34 pages on Serious Discussion to find some threads that I could review for my aMerits initiative. These are 'archive merits' awarded to posts that are over a month old. I managed to find one that I thought was OK, rather than brilliant.

I asked for submissions on the beginners board, and that seems to be a big flop. It seems that newbies and Juniors there don't believe that they made any decent posts in the past. Right now, I think I agree with them.
