[PLUG] whois command without boilerplate

When I type "whois keithl.com" from the command line
in a text terminal, I get 16 lines of useful information,
one not-very-useful line of ">>> Last update "... ,
and 37 lines of useless boilerplate legalese, scrolling
the useful lines off the top of a 24 line text window.  

I can probably write a shell script that deletes the
trash.  Has someone else already done so?

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"
$ killall lawyers
lawyers: no process found
