More likely, they just googled "e-mail vaildation regex" and copied the first/smallest result from StackOverflow. Happens all the time.

not sure that's this. if you just grabbed the first one, you wouldn't necessarily know that it explicitly doesn't work with the "+". Explicitly calling out the "+" issues indicates the person likely knows what they're doing.

Uh, you're right. My eyes missed the fact that this calls out the "+" character explicitly.
