Show HN: How I dealt with someone trying to build a copy my business
http://austin.craigslist.org/cpg/3695668636.html
Someone posted an ad on Craigslist offering to pay $750 to build a copy of my company, Review Trackers. I noticed the ad within a few hours of it being posted and decided to redirect the traffic (since they linked to us in the posting) to our Rails developer job posting with a little note.

Hey Chris, great way to get back! My only suggestion is to add some larger margins between your job listings for readability and maybe make the "Hey Craigslist’er" headline a little larger or a different color to stand out. Initially I couldn't tell what I was looking at.
You... copied him back? I don't get it.
Looks like they just updated the link in the CL ad to another website (was previously a direct link to ReviewTrackers.com), funny enough the new link is also to a website that I own. Now redirecting the new link to this URL as well- http://www.reviewtrackers.com/company/careers/#rails
Oh, I see! That's an awesome response :)
