Please expand on the above comment, for my benefit ;-) haha...
just call FSS and get a standard briefing to see for yourself.
first of all the only thing they do is read taf's and metar's to you, anyone could do that on their own. then theres the countless stories of them losing flight plans, they used to do it to me on a weekly basis when i was working down in dc. im pretty sure the list goes on, but those were the two biggest annoyances im aware of.
read a story the other day of about 10 pilots busting the camp david airspace near hagerstown. faa is not taking action due to all of them saying they were not briefed on the tfr when they called in. apparently the briefer never got the memo it was active.
