AFIS, A/G, ATC, whatever. If I have a need to talk to another pilot then I do. If the radio operator/ATC object then tough. It's my neck, not theirs. If they get really shirty ask if they'd prefer a Air Safety Report instead.
It's very rare in CTA that I need to talk directely - done it a few times - but rather more common on the OCTA radio freq.
AFIS & A/G are NOT controllers. Take whatever information they offer then use it in association with your other data to choose what YOU think is correct & sensible.
