- - From: labelle@hplabsc.UUCP Subject: Junk mail, Phone solicitation, Door to door salesmen For door to door salesman I have a non missable sign on the door which says "NO SOLICITORS" "OR RELIGIOUS GROUPS" (somehow the religious nuts don't feel they are soliciting your soul, money or whatever. If they still have the audacity to ring the bell. Just rudely point to the sign ask them if they can read, and slam the door in their face! It's your right! Don't expect a "no solicitors" sign to prevent salesmen from approaching you. Most salesmen are told that people don't feel the need for such signs unless they're "soft touches" who are easily persuaded to buy something. Thus salesmen often make a special point of calling on people who have such signs. -- Dana S. Nau ...!seismo!umcp-cs!dsn (Usenet) dsn.umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay (Arpanet)
