 * Is there a way to save settings that can be retrieved by any site. My plugin 
   needs to be able to have one set of settings for all the sites in the network.
   How can I do this without making my own table?

 * Save it in one of the global tables.

 * Global tables? As far as I can see each site gets its own options table. I cannot
   see an option table that isn’t associated with a site. I was going to just use
   the site with id 1 to store global settings (under a different key) so that all
   sites could just reference that to fetch the global settings. However what if
   the user deleted the original site? Then there wouldn’t be a site with ID 1 and
   that would fail.

 * Found it. get_site_option, update_site_option. On a network site that is global
   settings.

 * Also, blog #1 never ever gets deleted. at least not normally.

 * And inadvised. The first blog in the network is the default single WP you started
   with.
 * From the backend, there’s no delete button for the main site. You’d have to deliberately
   rearrange the network to get rid of it.
