I think that would be called frontrunning and that is in breach of the code
of conduct what are your thoughts Kim?

Quoting Nick Bolton on Monday September 15, 2003:

| John, when you rejected the domain name, it was automatically deleted

| 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

| 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.

Well, this is a discussion list and I go on what I am told. I am glad
that you have corrected the record.

But, I think what you have done is worse. What the hell gives you the
right to register a domain name on someone's behalf, presumably in their
name? I can't tell if that is the case because obviously the record
in the WHOIS isn't there any more. Irregardless if it is temporary or
not, speculative cybersquatting (by a registrar, no less) is simply
inexcusable to my mind.
