Outdated tool bar PR vs. new google directory PR

Is PR from Google directory the future PR of the toolbar?

I know the toolbar is a bit off center as I type, but I have noticed the Google directory leveling out. Have others noticed this? Also, do you think the PR shown in the updated Google directory will be the PR of the toolbar in the near future or there more that I'm not considering?

i hope i understood right...My site went from PR5 to 0 to Grey bar in the past few months, but I rank extremely well. In the category directory listing ranked by PR, my site is the very last one, so the directory is definitely reading and listing my site as having no PR. I'm not sure what's going on with PR, since the poor PR has not affected my rankings in any way. I like to think PR is still wacky, but if you say it's leveling out for you, I'm assuming you mean in the directory your PR shows correctly even though your toolbar PR shows incorrectly? For me, PR is wacky every which way...(I don't spam at all, have relevant inbound links, and have the most content as compared to my competitors)

The directory is way out of date, ignore it and the toolbar PR too. They will be updated whenever they are updated.
