• Let me be the next person to thank you for putting this amazing material together. Insight-live + Digitalfire has catapulted me up the learning curve.

• I work at a small, but rapidly growing custom slip-cast studio. The first few years were a learning curve gauntlet that, in retrospect, I am surprised we exited intact. This preface is to give a sense of how in debt I am to your research and hard work. I have had to learn as I go along, and the information you provide at digitalfire.com has been indispensable, and, quite frankly, an excellent cover for my ignorance on countless occasions! It is also the only source of information about many ceramics topics that I feel I can trust, knowing that it has been backed up with careful consideration and testing. Thank you again.

• I'm definitely a fan, I can see how hyper-focused you are on ceramics and it's nice to learn from you, but also I like the intensity, you've been doing this for decades. I'm kind of curious if you're autistic too, your level of focus is unusual for neurotypical folk. Anyhow, thank you for your research and hard work. They have benefited me a great deal, and a lot of the things I've learned from you I haven't seen elsewhere.

• Thanks! I look forward to seeing your posts. I have read and printed many things you have posted over many years. Have learned a lot from you.

• Thank you for your very informative website - it is a real help to one who has spent 40 years potting.
