AFSS response time

I'll also second what the others say about checking for TFRs. Regardless
of
how much preflight information I get off the computer/DUAT/etc., I always
call AFSS, even on short hops, just so that I have a record of checking on
NOTAMs.

DUATS keeps such a record as well. From the DUATS FAQ: "A DUATS route
briefing contains the same elements as a route briefing which is provided by
an FAA Briefer. The briefing is recorded by DUATS, and your receipt of the
data can be proven, should the need arise... The DUAT service is paid for by
the FAA, and is certified by the FAA as being equivalent to a live Flight
Service Specialist for pre-flight briefings."
