Chumbly appears to have fallen from the sky with no knowledge of my
prior postings, and his previous comment "trivial" on part 1 of this
thread aroused my curiosity, so I looked under his name on sci.physics,
which any reader can do (see "options," etc.), and all the previous
postings of his listed are on politics or marijuana in sci.physics
except for the option "list of all contributions" or something to that
effect which indicates that contributions of the same type can be
enumerated in detail by selection that option. Aside from having no
apparent knowledge of my past postings or his own past postings, there
is no reason to continue commenting on this strange person.

I now turn to Luc Devroye, and the title of his book is Non-Uniform
Random Variate Generation, Springer-Verlag: N.Y., Berlin, 1986, which
is available on the internet free under keywords "Non-uniform random
variate generation." Devroye and I belong to opposite "schools" in
politics, but his volume is one of the best that I have ever seen in
bivariate/multivariate probability distributions.

If Pod Chumbly keeps interrupting, I'll reply to my own postings and
not type under his in response since I have no interest in him aside
from wondering whether he's with MoveOn.Org, George Soros, or the
Category Theory-Algebraic Geometry-Algebraic Topology Lucrative
Research Awards people.
