    LOL... glad to see you are as irritated by that as I am. Thanks for the post.

    AGAIN: If you can't replace "it's" with "it is" in the sentence you were using, use "its". "it is existence" would not be correct; therefore, the correct form of the word is "its".

    I don't want to be a troll, but I'm really sick of seeing this kind of amateurish grammar on Slashdot, and I know I'm not the only one. Taco seems to have given up. He always uses "its", but that's not correct either! Remember the "it is" rule stated above, and you'll be correct every time.

    P.S. "Better then" is not correct either. When comparing, use "than."

    It isn't hard to read. It is available online for free reading. Have a look. I took the time out to read it - and now I know what the parent to this post is on about.
