Eric,

The way I handle closed accounts is to simply re-parent them underneath
a "Closed Accounts" asset account at the top level of the account
hierarchy.  This way, all of the transfers to/from the closed accounts
are still valid, but since I never open the "Closed Accounts" account,
the main scren remains relatively uncluttered. 

Hope that helps,
