Thank you kindly, philipma1957!!  To be clear, I'm not asking for merits from the community, though obviously I can't stop anyone from giving me any and I appreciate the support. 

I don't have a list of posts; I have a waiting list of post histories that I need to review, per my long-standing offer to the community and the recent thread I created about it.  But I definitely appreciate your offer of help and I'd link to specific posts if I had any.

Oh crap--I admit I did not read the fine print in your thread, but on the other hand nobody has to comply with your rules for meriting posts, even if it's your own thread.  As far as I know, you can set rules for posting if it's a thread you created, but since you can't report a merit given against your rules (like you can with a post), it's kind of an absurd rule to begin with.

And to your point, I've given out merits in that thread based on effort and not necessarily accuracy.  Regardless of my feelings about your rule, I'll abide by it in the future.  It probably isn't the smartest thing to do, giving merits to a report if said report might be complete BS.  Got it.

And yes, I'm a merit source.
