• Dear tony: Nice work keep it up!

• 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.

• I spent most of yesterday playing with the “new” (to me) version of insight on line. I love it, it is faster and eventually easier to use. And by the way, thank you for creating and maintaining the enormous data base of ceramic materials and making it available for anyone to use. What a wonderful gift to all of us interested in ceramics.

• I would like to thank you, I have looked through books and books and books, and here you are with so much fantastic information about what to do with the free clay that we can find outside. Even just saying that the clay has to be dry when you put it in water, what an eye opener. I am so amazed how well this works.

• I just wanted to express my appreciation for digital fire. It's an invaluable resource that I've been using since I was 18 years old (more than a decade). Keep up the amazing work.
