"need"; I guess not.  But I thought it was odd that the information was different for the 2 query methods.  There is nothing in the documentation or help output which indicates the output would be different.

That said I do see what you mean regarding the amount of data
returned.  I figured most users were probably grepping this output
anyway, as on a large fabric both methods return a sizable amount of
data.

One is supposed to return de-duplicated information about the groups
that exist, the other was supposed to show group member information.

I guess it depends on what you define as "member info" and what that implies to the user. ("de-duplicated" or not.)

       -m     get  multicast  member info.  If a group is specified, limit the output to the group specified
              and print one line containing only the GUID and node  description  for  each  entry.  Example:
              saquery -m 0xc000

To me this implied "de-duplication" only occurred with the mlid specified.  But..  I'm happy.
