• Most people would lose the ability to troubleshoot how to problem-solve issues with Plainsman Clays without your documentation.

• Thank you for digitalfire - it is an amazing resource (they are translating portions into Russian).

• Your understanding and explanations of glazing process and chemistry are always fascinating. Like the help you give for us amateurs, but also I love the posts explaining how commercial facilities deal with cost and efficiency issues like getting production products rapidly glazed and fired without defects.

• Many thanks for your time and trouble, re the information cone 6. You are a wealth of generosity and help to the home Potter.

• On a small aside. I want to thank you for all the work you have done over the years, firstly to inspire people like myself to see the technical side of ceramics as such a beautiful side of the art and not just a finished result that was lucky. And on that note with how much I read your blog, waiting for daily posts, reading all the old articles again and again, I see your mugs with the wheat grass on them all time, and was wondering if you ever put them up for sale. It's been an icon of my learning and would love to have one of the infamous mugs themselves.
