I'd prefer some method of borrowing money from somewhere else -
insisting on non-negative balances makes it easier to avoid loopholes
where people can buy as much as they want of (whatever) and have a
vastly negative balance.
Is your Aye to making me the Chief Cashier as well?
BTW - Technically this is a new proposal so Carrie and Jonathan ought to
state whether they agree with this one.
