[moneydance] Hiding Accounts with Non-Zero Balance

[Elana Shenton]

But software has to serve the majority of its users, not the one or two who
wish to go against convention.  Moneydance utilizes accepted personal
accounting standards.  There's nothing to say you can't just mark the cash
as 'spent'.  Heck, I don't track my cash other to say I made a withdrawal
from my account and maybe note the purpose of the withdrawal (spending
money,  dinner at a restaurant that doesn't accept checks or credit cards,
etc.).

That said, if you really think Moneydance should have the ability to do
this, then add a feature request to http://trac.moneydance.com/trac and the
developers will make a business decision whether or not it makes sense to
follow your request.
