This situation is totally out of control. And if you are a hosting company you know exactly what I'm talking about-- WordPress is nearly a total disaster for the business model. And if you had no idea this was the case, then message or call me sometime, and I'll be more than happy to enlighten...

Suffice it to say, a large portion of my hosting company's support staff efforts goes toward un-blowing up WordPress related mini-disasters. Guess who's paying for that (certainly not the client who's just trying to promote their "cute cats of the week" blog)?
