by wasting your money and being a dumb consumer, that’s how. next time you buy property on the top of a mountain and you’re looking for flood insurance, let us know? we’ll be able to tell you exactly what riders to have on your policy and which carriers to avoid. because that’s all you wanted to know. ---

[Moderating] Since the OP seems to have obtained information relevant to his question, and this has degenerated into a squabble, I am closing this thread. **Rumor\_Watkins,** while I am not issuing an official warning, I will note that you have previously received moderator notes and warnings for insults in GQ. Some of your posts here have been excessively judgemental and snarky. Let’s try to keep it reasonably polite in GQ. **niblet\_head,** if you have a problem with another poster, it’s best to report it rather than to engage in bickering with them.
