Are you the Dominic Sayers that (starting a meme here...) wrote an email address validation service that is actually RFC compliant? :-)
You are my hero of the week. I'm a software tester, I'm actually aware of RFC 822/2822/5322, and I'm using your service to slap our devs around a bit. Yay evil me!

I'll admit the coloured socks thing. But not the tweed.

(3 piece) suits in summer and gay coloured socks?

Hi Dominic
Perfect. You saved me lots of time. The # rule works but simply unchecking Twitter to appear on LI doesn't seem to. I am now able to pick and choose on Hootsuite what I post to LinkedIn as you can with Tweetdeck!

Many thanks Dominic

I've never used Hootsuite so I can't comment on that.

In Tweetdeck, your tweets will be posted to whichever channels are selected at the top (the "From:" area). If you don't want a tweet to go to LinkedIn just make sure your LinkedIn account is not selected when you post it.

It's also possible that your LinkedIn account is "listening" to your tweets. To check this, in LinkedIn hover on your name at the top right then choose Settings. You will see a link Manage Your Twitter Settings. If you click this then you can set LinkedIn to only repeat tweets that have #in in them.

Hi Dominic
I saw a post you wrote about not duplicating all tweets to LinkedIn, which made huge sense. I use Hootsuite and would very much like to pick and choose which Tweets show on LinkedIn for some of the reasons you state, although mainly because it is annoying, particularly for those on LI who do not like Twitter.
I have however found though that when I set up Twitter/Hootsuite or maybe when I used to use Tweetdeck, I must have done something to set up Twitter posts to automatically go to LinkedIn since they all apperat there, even if I haven't checked the selection in Hootsuite.
You seem like a chap who knows his way around this and wondered if you have any bright ideas about how I switch off the auto feed I seem to have created somewhere along the way?......

I wanted a better more accurate email validator in java and started to write my own for fun. One interesting bit was the paragraph about comments (text surrounded by parenthesis) within an email being insignificant and ignored for formulating the target. As an experiment i tried to email myself using gmail and added a comment to my email -but gmail complained and said the address was invalid.

Disqus has started tweeting comments by default. This is my attempt to change this...here goes.

Yes, there might be some value in demonstrating the limitations of a regex in fully implementing the RFCs. I'll try to find the most comprehensive one and add it to the list of validators.

Regarding Email address validation, a commonly cited reference for validation using regular expressions is the following:
http://www.regular-expressions...

While many of the regex's there are intentionally not validating to the actual spec, the page does present one regular expression for validating to RFC specifications (though it mentions the obsoleted RFC2822). It might be useful to include this regex in your list (maybe it'll incent the maintainer of that URL to update if there are any failures found in your test suite!).

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])
