Search hates me, especially since it doesn’t like most of the words/abbrevs in the title (2 letters) and “best” is filtered for being to common. The thread was along the lines of “so what IS the US best at?” or some variation thereof. I’m sure someone has it in their post history or subscriptions. Thanks in advance. ---
