I should be more careful with my choice of words. If I'm not mistaking, in English, "it's a shame" can have 2 meanings. One is like "shame on you", which isn't what I meant. The other one is "I regret that", which was what I originally wanted to say. Does it make more sense now? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
