Abstract
In this note, we reply to Fusco-Femiano et al. (2004) and Fusco-Femiano et al. (2006), who cast doubts on our analysis of the PDS observations of the Coma Cluster which we describe in Rossetti & Molendi (2004). We discuss the main issues in Fusco-Femiano et al. (2006) and we confirm that the available data do not allow to firmly establish the presence of a non-thermal component in the hard X-ray spectrum of the Coma cluster.
