 * IN the plugin, choosing a post status to assign to the deleted post, all the 
   choices your plugin provides are,
    - Draft
    - Deleted
    - Private
 * I cannot use deleted, nor draft or private. I use those for other reasons on 
   my site that manages event postings (a lot of them).
 * I created a custom post status type – “Expired”, just for the use of this plugin,
   but your plugin won’t list the status “Expired” because your post status list
   is hard coded and won’t draw from WordPress.
 * I can edit your plugin file to list it, but this makes unnecessary repetitive
   work because of updates.
 * So here is my suggestion (request) for your next update. Include the ability 
   to draw the list of post status types instead of hard coding the list, if that
   is possible. This way, for souls like myself who custom code things to avoid 
   too many plugins, your plugin can draw from a revised post type status list and
   use it.
 * Note, I did the custom feature using the Child theme – function.php file.
 * … unless you have a better suggestion?
 * Thanks.

 * Feel free to drop this as a suggestion. If there is a huge demand for this, i’ll
   certainly consider it!
