We get Jehovah's Witnesses mostly. They're OK folk, but sometimes annoyingly persistent at the door. Most of the Mormon fellows are interesting to talk to and seem to like to chat. They're not pushy or anything like that. The JW's that come to my door are interesting, despite their persistence and seem to mean well, but are usually in transmit mode only - no real dialog. Visits occur perhaps once every other year and so are not annoying in any way. My experiences are certainly not a representative sample though. No one should assume all are the same.
