I listed only Active members. Smiley
Yeah, and it was inevitable that what you listed would happen.  Not everyone here cares about the merit system, and I doubt Theymos expected everyone was going to.  So yeah, merit sources are a necessity to keep the whole machine greased and operating smoothly--and obviously Theymos was very forward-looking in having members volunteer to be sources.

I've got no problem with those so-called merit hodlers.  Everyone's got their own opinion of the system and no one is required to participate in it, so I wouldn't be quick to lay a guilt trip on them.  Just my opinion.
Even if everyone spent all their sMerit, the merit system would eventually run out of sMerit. Without merit sources, the total amount of merit that could be sent would be appropriately (but under) the amount of merit that was air dropped.

Obviously, not everyone will care about anything, but I think the response to implementing the merit system was very strong. I think a lot of farmers pushback on the merit system pretty strongly (they also tried to use their air dropped sMerit to their advantage, often without success).
