On Saturday the community of Villa Hills will join a number of other communities in the United States that have "no knock" laws to keep unwanted salespeople out. Such laws are the latest in any number of efforts Americans are undertaking to maintain their privacy.

Some health clubs have banned cell phones that have cameras attached to them, a federal "do not call" list lets consumers bar telemarketers from calling over dinner, anti-spam software is being hawked as a solution to intrusive emails.

Are you tired of having your privacy violated? Do you believe such measures mentioned here are necessary? By 5 p.m. Thursday, send us your horror stories and tell us what you will reasonably tolerate. We will print your responses in Sunday's edition. Send to No Knock, Enquirer Editorial Page, 312 Elm St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, fax 513-768- 8610, e-mail letters@enquirer.com (a form is available at http://www.enquirer.com/editor/letters.html). Please send e-mails as plain text without attachments. Limit letters to 200 words. Include your name, address (including community), daytime phone and a return address on the outside of the envelope. Letters may be edited for space and clarity.
