We present here results obtained from numerical calculations in order to respond to a misreading of our previous work. Sampling properties of our reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) algorithm are discussed and several tests are used to evaluate its properties. Important details are stressed, hopefully contributing to a better understanding of the technique.
