Obviously, the transactions should remain, just having the account in 
front
of me when it is useless is kind of useless, but there should be some 
way to
drag it up so I can review history, too.

As someone sent me privately, he created a new top-level called CLOSED 
which
is also what I did.  I certainly find this option sufficient, however, I 
think
it is messy.

Maybe I have not given this enough thought yet.  :)
