Some basic 2.01 questions...

[Brian Keener]

Actually, it's probably more of a "double-entry accounting" question...

So I've got the basics down so far; every payday, I transfer money from
"Income:Salary" to my main checking account, and as I pay bills/write checks
I transfer money from checking to expense:auto:gas etc. etc. etc.

Now, that leaves me with ever-increasing values in my expenses columns and
income columns, which looks a little strange to me.  That's pretty much to
be expected, I assume?

But what about a few months/years/whatever down the road, is it really
useful to know I spent $15,823 in gasoline since November 2006?  Can those
values be filtered so that only the last month or so shows up?

I suppose I could just hide the "income" listings and not worry about it,
which is pretty much what I assume will happen...
