Bearing in mind VHF/line of sight does it not occur to you that ATC, also being busy, might not hear them? How often do ATC ask aircraft to relay? Just because you, at FLwhatever can hear them doesn't mean everyone else can. Nothing wrong in a friendly hint if someone's not realised their finger error and if I were making that error I like to think someone would do the same for me. I'll continue to tell them and who knows, maybe one day it'll be me that stops you asking 25% of western Europe for fuel on arrival and making a complete arse of yourself.
If I interpret your post correctly you, an allegedly professional pilot would gladly sit and listen to someone calling 'XXX Ops' repeatedly without tipping them off? Go you
