Attack of the Mormons?

Dad had a strange encounter of the third kind last Saturday. He was getting buns for breakfast and saw literally dozens of black-suited men with briefcases walking around in pairs. He was wondering if this was a funeral, but then thought the briefcases kinda would be out of place there. As he got home, one of the pairs had reached our street and approached him, asking him if he could spare a moment. He asked why and they simply repeated their question, so he kinda told them to beat it. He was quite confused about it and told us about it later. I then made the suggestion that it might have been mormons since that's exactly how they operate. But I'm not exactly sure either. Insights anyone?

The most confusing thing about this really is that I live in a village of perhaps 7k inhabitants. Why would they want to convert people here? Wouldn't a larger city be a lot more practical? o.o

Amazon rant:

It bugs the hell out of me that when you click the author's name because you want to know the other books of this particular author all their database does is run a search on the name, thus you get EVERY goddamn book that contains one or two words of the author's name in their name or the title or what have you. Would it kill them to keep their databases clean? >_< It would be such an easy fix. Just link only to a querie in "author name" or something. Or even better, keep a straight database that lists exactly all the books of this one author. NOT the books of ANY author going by that name (by any strange reason)!

I'm so sick and tired of having to research somewhere else to get a list of the books I need before I can order at amazon. If they really cared they'd have good databases that would encourage research and ordering at the same time.
