[GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box?

[Larry Long]

 John, I almost always pay off entire credit card balances, so I rarely ever use the "interest charge" pop-up.However, I do use the "interest earned" pop-up associated with bank accounts.  
I find it a convenient reminder for me to enter that figure before I begin checking-off transactions in the reconcile window.Similarly, I use (and appreciate) the "payment transaction" pop-up window associated with credit card accounts.  The fact that it remembers and prepopulates my usual source account for the payment is also a handy convenience for me.
Could I do without these two features?  Certainly.  
Do I find them helpful and time-saving for me?  Yes.Compelling reasons?  While I find them helpful, I can't say that I have any.
If you want a survey of your users, I don't believe that this list is the best method.  
I would suggest that you set up a free account on Survey Monkey, create your questions there and post a link on this list.  It will accumulate the results for you and is much less effort than trying to track responses here.  
I'd be happy to create one for you based on what you asked below.  However, if you wanted to write your own questions, it might be better for you to do it.
Meanwhile, a huge "Thank You" to you and the entire team for all the effort that you folks put into the software--and in answering questions on this list!
Regards,Larry Long
