If you have multiple collections, it's a little unwieldy to have to
select which collection you are adding a feed to every time. Can there
be a default?

Similarly, is it possible to delete a test collection I made? I can't
see how to do it and it's causing the problem above.

If we eliminate the pop-up collection selector, you would have to go
to your profile page to change the default. I'm a bit concerned that
this would be even more confusing. For power users (like this group)
that might be okay. What do you think?

You should see a "Delete this collection" link under "Options" in the
right column unless it's your primary collection. You can't delete
your primary collection since every member has one.

Yes, that's probably too confusing.

OK I see now. Thank you.
