For je entries, I agree. Sometimes it is convenient to make the transactions
in a single column, but as you say, the two column format has enough 
advantage that I prefer it.

However, if you are advocating two columns for the Balance (Total), I 
STRONGLY disagree. There should be only one column. 
The entries in that column should follow one user selectable standard.

Having a balance that can change sign by changing the scope of the entries 
displayed would be a disaster.
