Perhaps the RIRs could get together and agree on a common whois syntax so
that when I check one RIR with one syntax - it would work on others as
well? This issue has been around for over 7 years and I can't understand
why the RIRs can't find common ground for the sake of the end users? Even
if ARIN or APNIC won't accept "-B -G", then at least let their whois engine
just ignore those extra parameters it doesn't understand. To me it looks
like minor software changes.
