Sorry, Christos. Alex was correct: "its" is the appropriate usage here. 
"it's" is a contraction of "it is", and NOT the possessive form of it. 
Furthermore, Alex was quite kind in *not* correcting the mismatch 
between the singular form of the verb "is" and the plural noun "points". 
  I, otoh, am not so generous.

The sentence *should* have read:
"Well, not to feed the troll, but there are a few relevant points in its 
posting."
