I was looking for some of the responses I got he what kind of milk
to use, how to get that great Greek yogurt taste and texture. Also
how long to let it cook, how to avoid the lumpiness I ended up with on
the first batch, stuff like that.

And I knew asking would bring out the folks who either dislike yogurt
or think it's too much trouble to make, and I like hearing their
comments as well. Some are good for a laugh, others make good points
to consider.

Thank you, and everyone else who shared their methods. I learned a
lot.
