[wp-testers] Re: Is this possible....

I don't want to delete the "maybe" plugins because I'll forget them  
between now and when I think I'll need them.  What I do sometimes is  
go through the deactivated plugins and .zip them up.  That way:  1)  
they can't be exploited, 2) no update notifications, 3) no clutter on  
the plugins screen, though they are there when I go in via FTP.
