Just to add my $0.02: If I'm already getting FF and I suggest to the
controller that I want to go off frequency to talk to FSS to file IFR,
s/he always seems to say, "nah, we'll do it right here."

I always thought it was the reverse psychology in action. I've spent
too much time with sales people.
