Hi John and Kim,

John, when you rejected the domain name, it was automatically deleted  
from the registry, making it available for others to register, hence  
the blank WHOIS response.

Having registered a domain with Bottle Domains in the past, you were  
entitled to the offer.  This was a once only offer, and as you will  
attest was straight forward to reject.

Kim, "rather that Bottle had made up the fact that it has been
"registered for you"."  Bottle Domains has not engaged in any  
misleading behaviour.  The name was registered, and then deleted by the  
Registrant.  I think that it is advisable and fairer to all involved  
that such speculation is qualified before being published.
