Actually I didn't find the EG. I subscribe to the wp-testers mailing list and it was reported by another user. With respect to politics, to tell you truth I've become somewhat disillusioned with the entire process including the politicians themselves. More than likely I'll blog about the subject again. For the time being I'm having more fun blogging about WordPress when I have the time.

I also downloaded 2.6 for my mirror site, and so far (touch wood), everything has worked just fine (despite some complaints by users out there).

There are some genuine concerns about WP in general, I find, but 2.6 does work.

Btw, are you ever going to blog about politics again, or has it become too boring a subject for you?

Thanks for the words. This has been an extremely busy work season for me and I've not had much time for other things. Guess I have to make some time.
