This post was originally put up on my old blog on 1st Jan 2010. Ten days later I had a message from the singer ofThey Came From The Stars, I Saw Them ... "hey there. i just discovered that my pop group made it onto this list. you’re right of course, only trouble is that you are pretty much alone in your faulty thinking, which is why we’ve pretty much given up ;o( Almost everyone else on your list has had at least some sort of success, but we never had any at all. ah well, thanks anyway – yours sadly – from the stars x" The nicest and saddest feedback all in one post I think I've ever had.
