    What kind of problems are you having? Maybe I can help with your Joomla install.

    oh for crying out loud...they are not spying..they simply get info on your WP version and plugins to make it easier for newbies to upgrade...I'm no newbie so for me it didn't matter...having said that, I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 with very little problems and it is very stable.
    Don't believe that lie!
