I assume that the "r" is for Robert so it is welcome to the Forum and to your thread!

If people do wish to contact you then they will be able to do so using the PM button, which may have happened already.

Hello Robert and welcome to the forum,
Yes I have been trying to get a contact number for several years now to discuss your work and to ask about the pottery I have posted in this thread.
I look forward to speaking to you soon.
