nslookup used to be deprecated, and nagged users who didn't say '-silent.'

Now, it doesn't nag, and behaves the same whether "-silent" is used or 
not. Not only that, the man page doesn't mention "-silent."

Consequently, I guess there were howls of protest, and nslookup's 
fortunes have revived so it will be with us for the foreseeable future.

The man page seems reasonable to me, try it.
