Wiki Page title

Hello, As noted recently, I have begun to work on the main Git pages (“Git," and "Git for Newbies") on the Wiki. One of the edits I would like to make is to change the title from “Git for Newbies” to “An Introduction to Git.” I want to do this because I feel the term “Newbie” is disparaging, an

Re: trial balance - how to find mismatch question

David, I have IRAs, but I do not *manage* IRAs. The custodian is the entity with whom I maintain my IRA, and so I do not need to report an IRA valuation. THEY do. So, it is true—I do not act as custodian for others’ retirement accounts. I wonder whether this is common for the GnuCash user base.

BTW, quixotic, while based on the famous Don Quixote, is a non-proper (improper?) adjective, and thus does not need capitalization. Whether you pronounce it “key-hotic” or “quick-sotic” depends on your personal predilection, as I undetstand it. David > On Mar 6, 2018, at 7:57 AM, David Carlson
