Reply to the comment of Tallon et al. Cond-Mat/0008295 about Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4381 (1999)

It is shown both from a qualitative and quantitative analysis that the T-dependence of the pure susceptibility detected by Tallon et al. in overdoped compounds cannot explain the T-dependence of the Li NMR shift. This confirms that the electronic correlations are still present in the overdoped regime as pointed out in Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4381 (1999).
