NSI Whois "Innovation"

Search Engine Watch: "Network Solutions has done away with these hurdles in its Whois lookup service, providing domain lookup information across multiple WHOIS databases. You can look up web sites in all domains and extensions regardless of where they are registered."

Have I mentioned lately how much I abhor Whois services that present non-authoritative data to users? This does a huge disservice to users by encouraging data mining and all sorts of other illicit and undesirable behaviors.
