So the burden is on me to figure out whom to contact.


Do you think someone else should bear the burden of cancelling your IFR
clearance?



Why can't the FS Specialist use the same resources I would have to use to

figure
it out?


He probably can, but why can't you use those resources? The first thing the
FSS specialist would have to do is figure out where 4F2 is, information you
should already have if you just completed a trip there. Then he'd have to
look up the field in the A/FD and determine what FSS to call, something you
should already know since you recently planned a trip there.


I suppose he's sitting at a desk in an air-conditioned room with access
to all the FAA publications, right?


Well, he's probably in an air-conditioned building that has all the
publications, but he's probably tied to a position and may not have ready
access to them.
