[GNC] OFX Import Mappings

[Rob LaRose]

I've already searched all the tabs for any occurence of the disabled
account...there were none.
I'm pretty sure that I've previously deleted all my Vanguard online
mappings to get a clean slate, but still ended up with GC importing
transactions to the placeholder account.
I'll try deleting the online mapping again to make sure that I really have
tried that approach to see if it will reset,

FYI... GC has behaved this way for quite a while now, but frequently I just
manually enter if there are just a few transactions.
I only think about it when I do an import (like for an end-of-quarter)
