Oh, reading it again my mail I noticed I wrote "I reconciled the whole
book" - apologies, that wasn't what I meant.  I accidentally typed
"book" instead of "account".


I'm really only referring to a single account across the whole book,
that is still otherwise in active use.


You can see it similarly to when you close a bank account or a credit
card: you totally want to keep it around, but you don't want to touch
the transactions involved with it anymore.
In those cases, do you just go on with life hoping you're not going to
mess with it?
