What a dreadful opening post. I hope any members hoping to increase their rank will learn from the mistakes in it.

- It is a tired old topic with no new information.
- The formatting is dreadful, and I didn't bother to read most of it.
- I see the merit begging has been removed, that is enough to get you put on ignore on its own.

Anyway - I put the OP on ignore, so no merits for him in my weekend merit giveaway.
