In my experience we don't get that many "pure" accounting questions on the user list. some 
may start out like one but most if not all of them end with a variation of "and how do I model 
this in gnucash" at which point it stops being a pure accounting question.

This is the "gnucash" user list after all. So every question is interpreted with gnucash use in 
mind.
