We discuss the data analysis and the conclusions based upon the analysis given in the paper by Diehl et al. Following the suggestion in the Comment on our previous work by Astrom, Linna, and Timonen [Phys. Rev. E 65,048101 (2002)], we performed extensive molecular-dynamics simulations to confirm that our numerical results for the mass distribution of fragments after the "explosion" of thermalized samples are consistent with the scaling form n(m)∼m - ( α + 1 ) f(m/M 0 ), where ∫(m/M 0 ) is a cutoff function, M 0 is a cutoff parameter, and the exponent a is close to zero.
