Reply on ``Fluctuation-dissipation considerations for phenomenological   damping models for ferromagnetic thin films'' [N. Smith, J. Appl. Phys.   \bf{92}, 3877 (2002)]
  We show that the critique of our recent papers presented in the abovementioned paper (NS) appeals to an incorrect mathematical analogy between electrical circuits and linear magnetization dynamics, improperly uses classical concepts of normal modes and basic equations, gives inconsistent results and therefore comes to incorrect conclusions.
