"*its* proper place" dammit. There are only two spellings:

its -- possesive
it's -- contraction of it is


Pretty testy for a guy who can't himself spell as indicated above - twice.

Yeah, but the comeback made my day! Ya gotta just LOVE Usenet!!!
Actually the same thing happened to me once in a chess game with a new young
player. He made a horrible move that revealed an unnecessary check he could
have avoided. Without actually studying the move, I rushed my Queen in and
called check. To make it worse, I used the moment to "lecture" the guy on
looking at the board before making his moves so that this kind of thing
didn't nail him again.
Well, I suddenly realized that it was I who should have been watching the
board. He reached down and quickly took my Queen with the Knight I had
missed seeing while I was busy lecturing him. :-)))
I tried never again to let myself get nailed like that by stepping in
uninvited and for no good reason lecturing someone on something I could and
should have passed on and remained looking like a genius :-))
