The 'helping points' expires but today I earnd 500 again and have now 1150 in total. You all know, I need to reduce my work load in keeping the catalog up to date. You are asked to take some of the points, when you have less then 100.

The trade lists are closed when you have less then 5 'helping points'. It should be clear, when you have less than ridiculous 5 helping points you do not help enough. So, before start trading check what you can do for the catalog. The catalog is the basis for your trades. And it is obviously enough to do.
