Please don't.  I was brought up never to talk behind someone's back; in
that context, the 'tone of my remark' is quite restrained, I think.

I don't believe that I said anything different.  There is a difference

required for simple courtesy.  Sometimes that difference is quite small,
in this case "CC: hokey at ietf.org" but that still seems too much to
manage in this case.
