pinholing causes

Someone asked me a question today about different types of pinholing, i.e.
those caused by outgassing, those caused by dust on the bisque, etc. I do
remember recently reading something here on clayart about possible cause of
pinholes that go right down to the bisque (actually show tiny round spot of
bisque), but I've just searched the archives and can't find what I'm looking
for.

Could anyone refresh my memory about this? I want to pass the information
on to someone else, and I'd prefer to be reasonably correct with what I tell
them. Thanks.
