The thing is, and I think you are in complete agreement, a third party processor has an expertise of experience, a vested interest, and a competitive instinct to try and get as many sales through as possible. I apologize because it is just my personal pet peeve that people always question their processors, the most important relationship they have in business, and don't either do something about changing the situation or at least understanding the conditionals better to feel more secure about the process.

I understand pet peeves, believe me - like why do parents ASK their four year old what they want at Starbucks thus making me wait and wait for a child's indecision?
But I digress.
I've learned the hard way how processers work and how relationships are the most important thing in any Industry. Working WITH your 3rd party processer will always get you further than thinking they are "up to something".
Having said that do I believe differant levels of accounts exist in a processer's eye? of course - the million dollar account is more important than the hundred dollar account in ANY business. LOL So yes, I do believe smaller, more "isolated" (in terms of location, connection, etc) webmasters (like myself) can sometimes think they are being overlooked or swept along with the dross instead of getting preferential treatment. But it is OUR job, the Webmaster, to keep that relationship strong and to work hard to get and keep a processer's attention.
Blah, blah, time for an end-of-work drink. Cheers!
