'Passing' call is for Radar environment to ATC! Nobody cares otherwise.

Actually, I find that information quite useful for arranging mutual separation.

This topic is of huge interest to me - not only do I request traffic for descent XXXX, I was of the distinct impression that those who didn't request traffic prior to 'leaving' were causing the enroute controller all sorts of grief by making him drop everything to find you traffic before you hit something.

Learn something every day!
