    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.
