I agree with most of what has been said. And before I go any further I really do appreciate the work that goes on here. I think those who are prone to be overly terse and have a tendency to post RTFM should take a piece of advice from the posting guide..."type 4*runif(1) at the R prompt, and wait

Hey Ben: One of my colleagues bought your book and was reading it during a faculty meeting last Tuesday. Everybody kept asking what's that? If you know how to put it in the wiki, would you please do it and let us know where it is. I was involved with an R wiki about 5 or 6 years ago, but comple
