| Posted: | | | | From the new rules... If quotes surround the title in the credit block (generally on the back cover), check whether the possessive is within the quotes. Possessive examples: "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride", John Carpenter's "The Thing". In each case, the portion within quotes is the title. From the credit block of UPC 085391 219828 It clearly shows the title should be changed from the current Stephen King's It, to It. However one user decides the rules are wrong AGAIN and should be IGNORED, and this time claims the title should be It! - thats It! with the exclamation mark. There is NO reference to this in the credit block, front cover etc. HE has voted NO to the change. They are voting ILLEGALLY, and I believe demonstrating further THEIR desire in PERVERTING the database to THEIR SELFISH wishes. Double hypocrite. (certain words capitalised as seems the trend for some) | | | |

| Posted: | | | | I recommend editing the notes as well. It took a couple of glances to notice what the change was. As for Skip he is voting no, because he thinks you are changing to Stephen King's It, at least that is what I understand from his vote, but who knows. | | | We're on a mission from God.
