I would suggest that the organisation object would not be shown as default
if referenced. Actually i would like to see "-r" option behaviour as the default
for the whois-server.

I know that everyone can setup an alias for "whois" or modify the c-client
but i think the whois-server should be tuned to the use of the every-day users
of the database. Hence the ouput of referenced organisation and person objects
doesnt make sense. Only show this objects of specifically requested by a user.

best regards,
