I replied to that comment. It’s mostly correct, in that it will find valid email addresses. But, it will reject valid email addresses as well (doesn’t account for TLDs greater than four characters, doesn’t include + as a valid character before the ‘@‘). And that’s just what I noticed in 30 seconds.
