... Recently I wanted only a
specific piece of information from the briefer about fog along the
lakeshore, but he wasn't having any of that... He insisted on going
through wx, SA for the route of flight, forecast, winds aloft, notams,
tfr, etc... I suspect their legal department had a warning out over
condensed briefings...

He ended with the usual VFR flight not recommended so what's new...
I countered with "driving home after working a long shift not
recommended"... He laughed...

Denny, did you say the magic word "Abbreviated?" during the request? My
experience in NY is that when I say that I want an Abbreviated Briefing, the
briefer will take my info and then ask, "OK, what would you like?"
