So true!
I sometimes have to control myself when asked for max climb/descent or best forward speed

WW - yes the type aircraft is listed in the flight plan (though we operate locally off of stereo routes and our type is certainly no surprise to the controllers we work with every day)
Yep - I've got to get over to ATC and get this question answered.
