My moneydance.md file contains several accounts in it.
They include my personal bank account, our joint account and 2 
investment accounts.  I don't want any of these to be visible to oursiders.

If I added BillyBob to the accounts in moneydance.md, the others would 
be visible when MD first starts up.

I could possible fix that by copying moneydance.md to billybob.md,
and then deleting all my private accounts.

I'm a little nervous about messing with data that took years to collect.
