No worries;  I know enough about domain maintenance to get by as I  
host my own personal one.

Yes that is true.  I didn't look at it close enough. It's too bad  
there is no free Whois history service (at least that I can find) as  
it would be nice to know what the scoop was previosuly.

Ok get him to give me an email.  For now I will get in contact with  
domains at cost to see what is what.
