Oh, the eerie silence.

I just opened the kiln this morning, temperature was 350, and for the =
first time in my 30+ years. Total silence. There was not even one "ping" =
of crazing.=20

It is said that some time the most monumental events go by in a =
whisper, but this one needs a shout: THANK YOU, Tony Hansen and all =
your team at Digitalfire for your persistent vision to put a technically =
valuable glaze chemistry tool, INSIGHT, in the hands of potters. =

I want to specially celebrate this empowerment with the hearts of John =
Hesselberth and Ron Roy whose dialogues at Clayart lead me to believe =
that this mornings experience was possible.

This, my presence with a hot 'silent' kiln load of pottery, has got my =
spirit soaring with enthusiasm.

This is great stuff.
