[jQuery] Re: question re: .live() and .empty()

I'm guessing that once a .live() instantiation occurs it's there for
good. If that's the case, is there a way to destroy it? (in particular
as it pertains to a selector).

I'm debating using it in a plugin, but am wary because of what could
happen with multiple instances of the plugin and maybe no ability to
destroy it completely.

Thanks,
Jack
