• I wanted you to know that, you have a fantastic program. Every serious potter should use it. And it would be a good starting curriculum for high school and college to learn from. Thanks for, I would imagine, many hours in developing time. Kudos sir. I hope, by God's good will that I will be able to enjoy it for any years to come.

• If, like Japan, Canada had a custom of selecting certain artisans as “national treasures“ you would certainly qualify - not only for your expertise as a ceramic chemist, but for your compassion for us less expert potters!

• 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.

• 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 am a big fan of your work. I want to thank you for being there when I have needed and hopefully I will be able to carry on without much input from you. I will be renewing my subsrciption soon and I extol the virtues of the program (and now the Cloud version) to everyone that will listen.
