You can easily avoid visits by mormons because their missionary strategy is a pattern -- if you see two young-ish people with black nametags walking down the street, that's them. Anecdote: a friend of mine (who subscribes to this list) had a bad scare on 9/11 -- his doorbell rang and he saw through the peep-hole that three men in black suits with stern looks on their faces were waiting at the door. As he reached for the phone to auto-dial his lawyer, he opened the door to discover it was... Jehovah's Witnesses. Now all you FBI moles, take that as a lesson to show up on my doorstep in your 'Got Root?' t-shirts you bought at DEFCON last year... t 07:28 PM 9/25/01 -0700, David Honig wrote:

Whether you take my approach or Tim's approach isn't all that important.
I personally don't answer my door unless I recognize them. Of course I realize that I'm missing scintillating conversation with Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses and the occasional vacuum cleaner salesman.
You only get visited by Mormons if you have a history with them.
