Herb, I erase the black ones, but if there is an image at all, I don't erase them. Treat them about the same as negatives. I would think that one would be just as likely to throw away bad slides. Seems like a theoretical argument that really has little bearing. There are probably just as many damaged or destroyed negatives and slides as deleted DSLR images. IOW, capture methodology has little to do with organizational methodology. People who throw away stuff will throw both away, people who keep and file everything will keep and file both.
