And I don't think I'll get above #6 unless some merit sources above me drop out.  I'm not even sure I can maintain #6 on a monthly basis, as it's not easy to distribute that many merits consistently.  I'm glad some members have taken me up on my offer of monthly post history reviews and that the "Ranking up" thread exists in Meta.  If I had to rely on finding good posts all by myself, I don't think I could give out 600-800 merits monthly.

Thanks again for posting the results, OP!
