> Christina Wahl posted elsewhere (on a public forum)...

In defense of colleague, I must point out that Christina has not
participated in this specific thread, so we do not have the benefit of her
actual in-context views on this specific subject. 

Regardless, I don't think it is fair to drag someone uninvolved in the
discussion into one's own disagreement based upon a quote that lacks a link,
citation, or any clue as to the context in which the statement was made.
Further, the uninvolved party may not be paying any attention to this
thread, or to Bee-L at all, and would thereby be (mis)quoted and/or
(mis)represented without a chance to respond or correct any error.

In my view, the proper thing to do would be to respond to the thread on the
unnamed forum elsewhere, rather than here.

I need only two words to completely address the above - "irreversible
binding".
