Did you realise that there's a ghost version of you asking questions on Mahalo Answers?

I find it bizarre that Mahalo Answers create ghost accounts on their website for questions they detect on Twitter. It essentially steals your Twitter username and your question, to create a Mahalo account in your image, asking the same thing you did. They do this without asking or attributing you.

Unfortunately for Fluther, their Twitter account has a habit of asking questions, so it’s a bit of a target. Which means that inadvertently and without our knowledge, some of our questions are ending up on Mahalo, without any attribution whatsoever.

How do you feel about this?
