[anti-abuse-wg] What am I missing in this mnt-by query for MNT-ANONYMOUS?

if you are using an whois client that is not clearly tuned to take care
of the specific RIPE DB options you are better off to enclose the
query with all it's options in a single quoted comand line parameter
such as

	whois -h whois.ripe.net "-i mnt-by MNT-ANONYMOUS"
