Closed as expected Behaviour.
But post install message says
"If you do not wish to provide the Joomla Project with this information you can disable the plugin called System - Joomla Statistics."
That implies that when the plugin is enabled that it collects and sends the statistics.

Yes I found the setting in the plugin but the wording in the Post installation message is misleading.

@brianteeman can you please have a look at the "misleading Post installation message"?

Suggest the word says something like
"If you do not wish to provide the Joomla Project with this information you can edit the settings of the plugin called System - Joomla Statistics"
Suggest the word says something like
"If you do not wish to provide the Joomla Project with this information you can edit the settings of the plugin called System - Joomla Statistics"
That would be incorrect
The three buttons correctly describe the options for sending the statistics.
I am happy with the current text

I am not speaking of the initial installation message. The information in the Post installation messages
"If you do not wish to provide the Joomla Project with this information you can disable the plugin called System - Joomla Statistics."
Implies that when the plugin is enable that it sends the statistics. But it does not do that because there is a setting in the plugin.
But fine. Have it your way ... you always do.

The original report made no mention of the post installation message
Having said that there is nothing incorrect about the post installation message
No it didn't but I since realised that the plugin had settings and did not need to be disabled like the Post installation message instructed. Thus the Post installation message saying the disabling the plugin ... is misleading.
@Webdongle i didn't understand your Issue, but if you have an Issue which isn't discussed enough please open a new one and describe your Issue.
It's intended to remain enabled. Selecting to never send stats option doesn't arbitrarily disable the plugin, the plugin just knows it will not send any stats up.
