 * What does everyone think of automatically deleting the cache when changing the
   WP Super Cache status? When editing templates or doing other things the cache
   is not automatically aware of, I find myself frequently turning the caching off.
   When I do this however, the static files are still served. It would be quite 
   convenient if turning wp cache to disabled mode, also nuked the cache to avoid
   this possibly confusing behavior.
 * I’ve also mocked up a very minor suggestion for the interface for turning the
   caching off and on. I find myself re-reading the text beside the radio buttons
   several times to make sure I’m finding the one I want. If the buttons were arranged
   horizontally and titled, “ON, HALF ON, and OFF”, I know I’d hit the one I want
   every time. Here’s my mock-up:

 * These are both very minor suggestions. I love the plugin and the way it’s improved
   my blogs performance. Thanks to the authors and maintainers.
 * Sincerely,
 * Rob

 * Rob – the plugin sort of did that already. It deleted the supercache dir when
   you deactivated the plugin. Unfortunately the function that clears the cache 
   isn’t loaded unless caching is enabled so it can’t delete the cache when caching
   is switched on.
 * I added your ideas for OFF, ON and HALF ON text to the status, thank you!
