Yes, here is the text to which I responded:

"In addition to the above, using Flight Following means that you are in
direct contact with ATC should you develop some sort of in-flight
emergency. You can therefore communicate that difficulty immediately
without having to search for the available and appropriate controlling
agency."

The suggestion is clearly made that if you AREN'T using flight following
then your alternative is to "search for the available and appropriate
conrolling agency" to call. My comment is that if you AREN'T using flight
following, you have a much better alternative to trying to look up a
frequency for the ATC in your area - and that is to dial up 121.5.

This really isn't that hard to follow.


And yet you were unable to follow it.
