You must have made a big "time out" from bitcointalk and I can see that from your registration date. If you had been making on average 1 post everyday since 2017 you would be a Legendary at the moment. (Excluding merits)
I guess that is right. It was an experience. Sometimes you have an experience that will guide you at other times. A fish inside the river, don't understand what the one outside the river go through lol.
Merit system has taught me is not just to post but being useful.
