and asked if we would like to join forces and become one company.

we are declining as our business has been running longer and we know we are making more sales than them. we also have put a lot of work, money and effort in getting as far as we have. nice to know that someone thinks we are doing a good job.

we have previously had a competitor ask us if we could lower our prices as he could not compete with us any more, the answer was no.

sorry for the anon, but I have been traced via posts before. I once left a reply on another WAHM site about goods I received. I then received an email wishing for someone to buy the domain name of my site. it took me hours to work out how they had traced me down as the site was just a front page and not an active site at the time, there was no personal details. They had searched and found my name as the registered user and then searched my name and found the post on the WAHM site and then managed to find our current business.

thats a big compliment isnt it - they say that imitation should be taken as a great compliment.
I would hazzard a guess that this competitor of yours will now do one of two things, give up and close because they can't compeat on the same level as you or step up their game and give you a serious run for your money. Either way, they've given you a heads up havnt they - silly of them really.
