Is it just me or is the results output kinda spammy?

I mean, I'm all for information and stuff, but do I really need to know the regex?
I'd love to have this as an option, when I think, that the tool provided a false positive, but for routine checks, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed

More interesting it would be, to just show me the parts, that are seemingly an issue and some description, why it is an issue.

With that output, I'll probably have an easier time just checking the config file myself

But maybe, that's just me...

Thanks. This is going to be addressed here - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/issues/13
