In the preceding Comment Drees discusses the issues of (i) whether my method sums the leading logs, (ii) the use or abuse of the infrared scale $Q_0$, (iii) a possible ambiguity in my definition of the renormalized scalar masses, and (iv) the threshold effects at the ultraviolet scale. I agree with his critique on point (i). On the other three points, a discussion is presented which might clarify the point of view I presented in my previous paper.
