Scrub All...

[Charles Gagnon]

To follow up on David's question:

I understand the "Scrub" function. I also know where these transactions come
form. I have a bunch of them dating from before I had all my data entered. I
need them to insure all my bank accounts balance.

What I'm wondering is what do I do with these "Imbalance-USD" and
"Imbalance-CAD" account. What's the proper way to handle them.

They don't really bother me but it seems like all my reports would be much
cleaner if they where not there. Seems to me like, specially on an end-of-year
like now, there must be something I can roll those into...

Any ideas?
