Here is the rub.  The date I make the charge and date when
the charge "Posts" are often two different dates.

If I where to change all my charge dates to post dates, this
would not be an issue,  But that makes for a nightmare to
keep up.  I need to know what date I placed an order and I
also need to not be spending hours changing dates.

Why is if not using my "c" and "n" fields?   Why can it just
reconcile the entries I have "c" checked?

Otherwise, unless I am missing something really big,
"reconcile" is pretty much useless.  I hope it is
my problem, as I can fix that.
