Thank you for a very good applications until now.
I will have very difficult job to chose 3 the best applications and give reward.
In fact, I'm sorry that I don't have more merits available so that I can help more young members in this forum but I invite others to also reward good and constructive posts from our newbie and jr members and help them rank up in the forum.
They really deserve our support and help in the begining of their forum ''life'' 

This is the best post I have seen relating to merits in this forum. A call out for high ranking members to appreciate good posts is a very great one. I really appreciate you doing this to encourage members here. Kudos.
