I didn't follow Michael D Novack. Though I can clarify on some issues that were mentioned.
1 - Translation is not complete, my usage of the app is not exhaustive to try its ins and outs. I questioned if GnuCash is built with the mindset of priming interest over non-interest. The string I mentioned has either redundant information or contradicting information. 2 - I do not intend to draw lines but rather to question the line itself. That way agreement is facilitated or disagreement shows its hidden points of conflict. 3 - If GnuCash has a part dedicated to loans, a user would be happy to have all info about his loans under a Loans section rather than keeping notes to himself in roundabout ways. Accounting is a form of bookkeeping but usage of computing machines has provided some nifty features not possible with books. I talked about extending and refactoring to provide support if missing. This is about development not usage. Hamid On چهارشنبه ۱۲ دسامبر ۲۰۱۸ ۰:۴۱:۰۸ (+0330) Frank H.
