hi,
is it possible to implement this hack into wp-db.php?
i'm a bit lazy to remodify the source on every update.
perhaps you could do a configuration to enable the ping check on/off...
the latest hack was modified by Rob in his comment inside my blog:

please let me know...
thank you.
best regards,
James
