[Dtb-talk] Is it safe to delete books with the Victor Stream?

[Tom Shults]

All,

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  It appears that my data error was a fluke 
that just coincided with an occasion when I deleted a file with the stream.

Jim,

Thanks for the pointer to the current Stream discussion list.  My initial 
post was to a Stream discussion list that no longer exists.  I am glad to 
have the location of the new list.

Many thanks,
Tom

So, this thread is getting a bit out of hand.

If people are having problems with their streams, I'd really recommend
joining the VR stream list,  You can join that list by going to this
link...

Thanks Everyone,

Jim
