[chandler-users] Don't Delete Collections that Have Subscriptions!

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Bobby,

I did this to unsubscribe to Priss' collection and got the null  
screen. But when I try to access my calendar again, it hangs with the  
Processing... box again.

Were there any other calendars that were unpublished?
