So far, the companies I've queried all insist on both my
social security number and my signature on a release that
permits them to sell all of my personal information.

Is this what purchasing property insurance has come to?
Must I now risk my identity as well as expose myself to
never-ending spam, mail and phone calls from
telemarketers for the privilege of paying in advance for
insurance coverage?

Yeah, they'll do credit checks and financial checks on you. Every
