You and Art are both being silly.

Accounting transactions are very simple and involve no more than
Date
Description
Amount

and you can sometimes get rid of the description if it is causing 
problems.

A Date and a Number are all you actually need to make sense of a 
set of transactions.

If you are struggling with organising your data ask nicely.  Don't 
pretend it is a GnuCash problem until you've played with the 
software *before* checking if it is right for you and your data.

If you want to take this seriously, go back and forth to the ledger-
cli family of transactions, it can be done if you are not lazy, and 
the tools are availble in popular scripting languages.

Look at Sebastien's piecash for a good, modern view of GnuCash data 
and how to deal with it.  He provides a lot of stuff for free.
