New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much


I recently attempted to post a URL to Wikipedia article related to networking and was notified I was blocked.  I think the current restrictions on embedded URLs in messages are a little too much.

That's odd! I've never had an issue posting links here, @erik_squires. What exactly was the message you got when you were blocked? Was the entire post blocked?

@cleeds Yes, it blocks and erased the entire message.  It was a mundane message talking about network speeds, buffers, caches... etc. For kicks, would you try replying with a link to a Wikipedia article?

If I try to reply to this thread wiht a post from Wikipedia about Transmission Control Protocol I get;

Sorry, you have been blocked
