I've had that issue for some time, but assuming you saw my spam about the first real-world application of a string-theoretic formula, I'm no longer prepared to write it off completely. -To counter that minor bit of optimism: Newton's equations for gravity, although still useful; had the entirely wrong premise. String Theory has very far way to climb in order to be fully valid.
