True. And for a Mirco$loth environment, it's really not a bad (shareware)
tool. It combines all the standard UNIX cmd-line tools into a GUI shell
(whois, dig, etc).

False - *completely* false. You are probably assuming the "whois"
information that is returned is somehow blessed with accuracy. In the old
days (before 1995) this was true, however, since InterNIC has been
commercialized, they no longer require accurate, or even *any* contact
info (we've been involved in a dispute with them because of this, so we
have it first hand - right from the jackasses mouth so to speak ;-).
For those records which *are* accurate (very few nowadays), most are just
postal drops or work addresses (majority are postal drops).

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...
