I wasn't sure where to open this thread, I guess meta is the most appropriate place.

Recently I have been given merits for a comment in a thread that I locked 4 months ago.

Some were given to me when I was just a few merits short of 1000, and I see the point that there are forum members who try to help you when you are just a few merits short of the merits needed to get to the next level. Thanks for that to those who gave me merits. But it's just that today I saw that Welsh also gave me merits for this and another old post when I had already reached the requirement.

As I say it's just a curiosity, but how did you get to that comment? Diving through all the posts?  I doubt if there is any way to find poorly merited quality posts among someone's post history in a quick way.

I remember that when I wrote it I was a few days without receiving any merit for it.
