• I take this opportunity to appreciate your efforts in sharing all the information related to ceramics on the Digital Fire website. It is really helpful. I am from India. We work towards reducing mining for natural resources by 60% through making (fired) recycled ceramic products.

• I hope you're doing well and that things have smoothed out after all the online uproar that you ended up being in the middle of. I had a lot of empathy for what you went through with that, but I want to thank you for your amzing dedication to research and to sharing open-source information — you make a real difference to so many people in our field through sharing your research.

• I just want to say THANK YOU for this incredible database of information. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

• The body of work you present, and the obvious attention you have paid to your website, is quite noteworthy. To me it’s a bit like AutoCad: it has everything, but you need training in how to use it!

• Love the post (about leaching in glazes). I am the bad guy on Facebook ceramic because I always bring up this subject. So sad.
