• Tony, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for the information. I'm a self-taught potter living in Hansville, WA. could not have done it without your scientific approach and papers.

• Your site is a crucially important one, and I'm happy to help you, even in small ways.

• You have done more for the advancement of ceramic knowledge than anyone I can think of. Thanks again! The information you provide and the work you have done is invaluable. I can't tell you how many problems I have solved because of insight and the reference library! Thanks again for all of the help you have provided.

• Tony, we've never met, but I want to chime in with the many others who have contacted you, telling you how important your work has been to the ceramics community over the years. I am a potter today because of people who took me under their wing and showed me everything they know for the love of the craft, and because they believed in access to knowledge and education for all who want to work in clay. The spirit of the ceramics community is with people like you who do it for the love of the craft, and money second (which is not to say you aren't deserving of plenty of the second as well). Your program is an instrument of democracy, as funny as that may sound. In a world of paywalls, you make information available to all.

• Your site, I think, is the best source of information on ceramics that I have found. I have always wanted to know how things work rather than just doing it because someone said so. Your site gives reasons why and how to apply what you have learned! I've learned much from you and now I am enrolled in chemistry classes to better understand what you present on your site. Thank your for the Digital Fire Website and the Insight-live Site.
