He is trying rationalize his previous behavior by stating that he thinks any
random admin on one of the projects should be able to insert a web bug into
Common.js that logs user data to a non foundation server.

I'm not sure what keywords to use but I seem to recall this issue coming up
a couple of years ago (this exact case). At any rate it seems that he was
aware of the controversy from the beginning.
