\opening{To the editors of Physical Review,}

We wish to appeal your decision on our manuscript \emph{Complex complex
landscapes}, which received a single referee report.

We believe that the referee's overall criticisms of our paper are not entirely
justified (and above all, difficult to answer).  We have, however, submitted a
revised manuscript clarifying the specific aspects that the referee found trying.

The referee seems particularly worried that we have cited articles that are not
themselves sufficiently cited, so we thought it may be useful propose a set of
referees that are beyond suspicion of incompetence or uncitedness:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
  G Ben Arous  & Courant \\ 
  M Berry      & Bristol\\
  Y Fyodorov   & King's College London \\
  Daniel Fisher& Stanford\\
  T Lubensky   & U Penn\\
  M Moore      & Manchester \\
  E Witten     & IAS Princeton
\end{tabular}

We have also pointed out  some very first results of the geometric implications for a
random complex landscape of our calculation, something we plan to expend on in
a future full article.

Let us conclude by remarking that, although it is probably true that this paper will not
make more than one hundred citations next year, we are  confident that it will still 
be considered relevant in ten years time.


\closing{Sincerely,}

\vspace{1em}
