I completely agree with this; I remember reading that prior thread on double entry accounting and being so frustrated and confused about the use of debit/credit terminology and then, as now, your comments (and others) were very very helpful and insightful.

Something I find frustrating is the - almost - endless debate and nitpicking on small details or elements implied but not explicitly stated...but I guess people are trying to be helpful (or right).

I didn't have an account to comment then but I really appreciated your perspective; it was extremely valuable seeing a few people saying 'forget about the credit/debit nomenclature, it's confusing' and recognising not everyone knows the terminology. Now I have an account here and can thank you for fighting the good fight again.
