I don't get upset either.
I just want to understand the logic underlying ATC giving me and requiring me to readback QNH immediately after I've reported receipt of ATIS containing that QNH. Remember: The OP is an appeal for us not to readback to ATC something that does not need to be readback. I'm interested to understand why ATC feels it necessary to tell me the QNH at YSCB - necessitating a readback - when I've already told them in my inbound report that I have the ATIS.
