I humbly concur. People are seeing that the Foundation is still good.

Absolutely. The project not only *will* thrive it *is* thriving. We're
getting scandals every other week at the moment, and it doesn't seem
to be hurting the project at all and I see no sign that it ever will.
I think all these scandals are just a sign of our success - the press
are interested in every little thing we do - and they're going to
continue. The foundation is not perfect and never will be, mistakes
are going to happen and when they do it's going to be a massive
scandal. As the foundation improves and becomes more organised and
professional, these mistakes are reduced, however the foundation is
also growing at an enormous rate and the more the foundation does, the
most opportunities there are to make mistakes, so I don't think the
number of news stories is going to change much over time.
