How do I make wget properly quiet?

Question

wget always echoes system values to the console, even when I specify -q (quiet) on the command line, e.g.:

C:\> wget -q http://www.google.com/
SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc
syswgetrc = C:\Program Files\GnuWin32/etc/wgetrc

C:\>

How do I make the noise stop?

wget -q http://www.google.com/ >NUL
