That was uncalled for.

So far, in this discussion, you are the single, lone, individual
supporter of naked URL buttonization.  There have even been requests
on gnu.emacs.gnus for updates to the regexp, to tone it back down to
what it previously was.  "N-large opposed to 1" represents "vast", IMHO.

If you have some indication that there is anyone at all other than
yourself interested in perpetuating the current misbehavior, I'm sure
we would all be most interested to see it.  By comparison, it seems
that every day brings yet another dissatisfied distress call over the
bad behavior.  I see that Miroslav Zubcic has just weighed in with his
own brief compendium of false positives.

The fact remains that naked URL buttonization has a huge false
positive rate, and a lot of us are getting rather tired of it.  It
seems peculiar indeed that an objectively erroneous behavior should be
retained as the default.
