Ouch, that hurts.  I thought you loved me--you even bought me dinner and a movie before coitus.

Seriously, why not make a thread about something like this so that the community knows what's going through the mind of a merit source?  Though I didn't anticipate the outcome, it turns out that it was a good thing I made my 'gripe' public, because 1) Theymos acted, and 2) We're all discussing the changes that got made, and all of this is out in the open.  And yeah, my first inclination was to PM Theymos, but I've never done that, don't think he likes me all that much, and didn't think I'd get any sort of response.  I'm sure he gets tons of PMs daily, and I don't know how he responds to them.  Cut me just a tiny bit of slack, eh?

Yeah, I'm glad o_e_l_e_o (I hate typing out his name) got made a source, and because of the sMerits Theymos gave me I was able to merit that post of yours I mentioned.  I didn't get anything near a mega-grant of sMerits, but it'll last me for a while and it was much more than what I had before.

I've no clue as to what Theymos is thinking along the lines of adding new merit sources, but he obviously surprised me by adding new ones yesterday.  I thought it'd be a while before he'd do that, so you ought to make an application thread if you're really interested.  You're another member who I think knows good posts from bad, so I'd support your application.
