Flash: Nitpicking Continues!

Whoix.com, the Thinking Person’s Alternative to Whois, responds to malformed queries with the following error message:

Bitte geben Sie den Domain-Namen ohne “www.” an

Ach, ist jetzt die Sprache vom der Internet Deutsch ? Ausgezeichnet!
Besides, if Whoix is smart enough to see that the name I entered begins with “www.” why isn’t it smart enough to remove the “www.” and do the lookup I requested? “To dial the number you requested you must first dial 1.” If you know what I did wrong, why don’t you dial the one, you a-hole!
General category of this picked nit: The Petty Revenge of Resentful Robots.

Yes, I know my German is schrecklich. Thank you for reminding me.
