We thank our referee for a thorough reading and thoughtful comments, which greatly improved the manuscript. Graham Barnes provided the code for producing the potential field connectivity matrices using a Monte Carlo algorithm with Bayesian estimates, as described in Barnes et al. (2005). Development of the code was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under contract FA9550-06-C-0019. We acknowledge our use of NASA's Astrophysics Data System.
