Correct, but if you file an IFR fight plan through DUATS with "VFR" as the
requested altitude it WILL go to ATC.

Here's what he said and what I reply to:

"pre-file your VFR flight plan with DUATS
so ATC already has a strip on you at initial call-up, just like with IFR."

If you file an IFR flight plan with a VFR altitude they'll assume you
want FF. I've done that by mistake and when I called for a clearance
they made a comment about FF.
