141 < For the most parts, the water results appear to parallel the combined
142 < results seen in the discussion in the main paper.  There is good
143 < agreement with SPME in both energetic and dynamic behavior when using
144 < the {\sc sf} method with and without damping. The {\sc sp} method does
145 < well with an $\alpha$ around 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, particularly with cutoff
146 < radii greater than 12 \AA. The results for both of these methods also
150 < begin to decay as damping gets too large.
151 <
152 < The pure cutoff (PC) method performs poorly, as seen in the main
153 < discussion section.  In contrast to the combined values, however, the
154 < use of a switching function and group based cutoffs really improves
155 < the results for these neutral water molecules.  The group switched
156 < cutoff (GSC) shows mimics the energetics of SPME more poorly than the
157 < {\sc sp} (with moderate damping) and {\sc sf} methods, but the
158 < dynamics are quite good.  The switching functions corrects
159 < discontinuities in the potential and forces, leading to the improved
160 < results.  Such improvements with the use of a switching function has
161 < been recognized in previous studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and it
162 < is a useful tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic
163 < effects.
164 <
165 < The reaction field (RF) method simply extends the results observed in
166 < the GSC case.  Both methods are similar in form (i.e. neutral groups,
167 < switching function), but RF incorporates an added effect from the
168 < external dielectric. This similarity translates into the same good
169 < dynamic results and improved energetic results.  These still fall
170 < short of the moderately damped {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods, but they
171 < display how incorporating some implicit properties of the surroundings
172 < (i.e. $\epsilon_\textrm{S}$) can improve results.

147  
148 + The pure cutoff ({\sc pc}) method performs poorly, again mirroring the
149 + observations in the main portion of this paper.  In contrast to the
150 + combined values, however, the use of a switching function and group
151 + based cutoffs really improves the results for these neutral water
152 + molecules.  The group switched cutoff ({\sc gsc}) does not mimic the
153 + energetics of {\sc spme} as well as the {\sc sp} (with moderate
154 + damping) and {\sc sf} methods, but the dynamics are quite good.  The
155 + switching functions corrects discontinuities in the potential and
156 + forces, leading to these improved results.  Such improvements with the
157 + use of a switching function has been recognized in previous
158 + studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and this proves to be a useful
159 + tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic effects.
160 +
161 + The reaction field ({\sc rf}) method simply extends upon the results
162 + observed in the {\sc gsc} case.  Both methods are similar in form
163 + (i.e. neutral groups, switching function), but {\sc rf} incorporates
164 + an added effect from the external dielectric. This similarity
165 + translates into the same good dynamic results and improved energetic
166 + agreement with {\sc spme}.  Though this agreement is not to the level
167 + of the moderately damped {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods, these results
168 + show how incorporating some implicit properties of the surroundings
169 + (i.e. $\epsilon_\textrm{S}$) can improve the solvent depiction.
170 +
171   A final note for the liquid water system, use of group cutoffs and a
172 < switching function also leads to noticeable improvements in the {\sc
173 < sp} and {\sc sf} methods, primarily in directionality of the force and
174 < torque vectors (table \ref{tab:spceAng}).  {\sc sp} shows significant
175 < narrowing of the angle distribution in the cases with little to no
176 < damping and only modest improvement for the ideal conditions ($\alpha$
177 < = 0.2 \AA${-1}$ and $R_\textrm{c} \geqslant 12$~\AA).  The {\sc sf}
178 < method simply shows modest narrowing across all damping and cutoff
179 < ranges of interest.  Group cutoffs and the switching function do
180 < nothing for cases were error is introduced by overdamping the
181 < potentials.

287 < Highly ordered systems are a difficult test for the pairwise systems

300   that the ice I$_\textrm{c}$ crystal is ordered such that the net
301   dipole moment of the crystal is zero.  With $\epsilon_\textrm{S} =
302   \infty$, the reaction field incorporates this structural organization

477  
478 + The moderate electrostatic damping case is not as good as we would
479 + expect given the good long-time dynamics results observed for this
480 + system. Since the data tabulated in table \ref{tab:salt} and
481 + \ref{tab:saltAng} are a test of instantaneous dynamics, this indicates
482 + that good long-time dynamics comes in part at the expense of
483 + short-time dynamics. Further indication of this comes from the full
484 + power spectra shown in the main text. It appears as though a
485 + distortion is introduced between 200 to 350 cm$^{-1}$ with increased
486 + $\alpha$.

722 + The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods require larger cutoffs to maintain

836 + This system appears not to show in any significant deviation in the
837 + previously observed results. The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods give
838 + result qualities similar to those observed in section
839 + \ref{app:water}. The only significant difference is the improvement
840 + for the configuration energy differences for the {\sc rf} method. This
841 + is surprising in that we are introducing an inhomogeneity to the
842 + system; however, this inhomogeneity is charge-neutral and does not
843 + result in charged cutoff spheres. The charge-neutrality of the cutoff
844 + spheres, which the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods explicitly enforce,
845 + seems to play a greater role in the stability of the {\sc rf} method
846 + than the required homogeneity of the environment.
