So what we "are dealing with" here is a self-plagiarazing accusation... I personally don't think he is doing this for the sake of fishing merits, but simply because this user believes the reply with the complete "guide" is the best possible option. The user himself says that he is a newbie still, and as such, there are some mistakes that are to be done in order to be able to learn. In this particular case, he simply copy-pastes the whole message instead of either redirecting the user to the actual guide, or trimming the "unnecessary" parts out of it.
There's some situations that simply require the same reply over and over again; an example that comes to mind is the typical workaround when something is not working the way it should with an Electrum wallet, and since the reply is appropriate and on point, it may earn a few of them merits. It's good that you've brought this up, but as a means to improve the posting etiquette of Shamms'.
