Reply to: `Comment on: " 't Hooft vertices, partial quenching, and   rooted staggered QCD" '
  We reply to Creutz's comments on our paper " 't Hooft vertices, partial quenching, and rooted staggered QCD." We show that his criticisms are incorrect and result from a misunderstanding both of our work, and of the related work of Adams.
