[CS-FSLUG] [Ichthux] Loaded Ichthux!

[Raphaël Pinson]

I apologize for the tone if it was harsh. That was not intended. I reckon I 
have not been welcoming your comments very widely because I have heard them 
so often. I'm sorry if I hurt you.

So thank you for your comments, and you are welcome to help if you have ideas 
on how to improve all this :)


God bless
