expected ?
Yeah, if I walk through central park at night I expect to get mugged too. http://www.legalserviceindia.com/articles/transfer.htm Offer and acceptance are a LEGAL requirement for transfer of ownership. (Ask your lawyer) "Gift" is the transfer of certain existing moveable or immoveable property made voluntarily and without consideration, by one person, called the donor, to another, called the donee, and accepted by or on behalf of the donee. Such acceptance must be made during the lifetime of the donor and while he is still capable of giving. If the donee dies before acceptance, the gift is void. In ordinary legal effect, there cannot be a `gift' without a giving or taking. The giving or taking are two contemporaneous, reciprocal acts, which constitute a gift. Section 122 of the Act postulates that a gift is a transfer of certain existing movable or immovable property made voluntary and without consideration by one person called the donor, to another, called a donee and accepted by or on behalf of the donee. The essential elements of a gift are
(a) The absence of consideration; (b) the donor; (c) The donee; (d) The subject-matter; (e) the transfer; and the acceptance. The concept of gift is diametrically opposed to any presence of consideration or compensation. In order to constitute a valid gift, the pivotal requirement is acceptance thereof. No particular mode of acceptance is required and the circumstances throw light on that aspect. A transaction of gift in order to be complete must be accepted by the donee during the lifetime of the donor. Factum of acceptance can be established by different circumstances such as donee taking a property or being in possession of deed of gift alone. If a document of gift after its execution or registration in favour of donee is handed over to him by the donor whom he accepts, it amounts to a valid acceptance of gift in law. The specific recital in the deed that possession is given raises a presumption of acceptance. Certainly NOT expected behavior. If a no-copy item is sent, and declined, it should return to the sender. I have sent no-copy things out before only to have them declined, and I have to manually ask them "Well, if you don't want it, please give it back." And it was their understanding that declining would do exactly that, which it does not.

VWR-13910this appears to be expected behavior and has been for a long time.
