I would defer to you, Elizabeth, but on the example (the columns got out of 
sync in your reply) I see a credit card entry and a bank account entry both 
on the RH side.  Only one can be right.  Assuming that it is a charge to the 
credit card, it didn't affect the bank balance as well.  That is the line 
that should be deleted.
