I also tend to say what the aircraft is (i.e. Skyhawk [Tail-number exlcuding N]) Just to let the traffic know what type of aircraft it is and what to be looking for.

I do not see a problem with ending with Del Rio Traffic, if you wanted to get smart with the guy you could have said your pet peeve was people transmitting non-essential information over the traffic advisory freq.
Agreed. The second "Del Rio" is for people at a different airport using the same freq. or for pilots switching over halfway through your transmission. Don't worry about what that dumb*ss said, you were much nicer to him than I would have been...
