Yeah, my merit-to-post ratio probably screws me out of merit sometimes. I remember once sending a PM to TSC (TP back then) asking for his advice about a post of mine that didn't get merited. I think I even asked him (paraphrasing): "Do you reckon some people think: Fuck that guy, he has enough already!".

Yet every once in a while my merit finger hand is forced and I am compelled by a higher force to give you merits; same thing goes with LoyceV & o_e_l_e_o; I resent having to give them merits but I do it anyway because its beyond my control.
