Very intersting comments. And it was because of that exact thinking that I specifically asked Richard, back on January 18th to which he did respond as quoted in my earlier email. I have copied the comments from my post of January 18th:

2. He mentioned significant changes coming that allows for quicker assays in a more timely fashion from the labs. I said I was told that you could pay for faster results to which he says they have paid more and did not receive the results any faster. Don't believe what you always hear.

It could be that even though the samples were marked rush supported with a premium payment did the results come any quicker; Richard said no back in January. You are not the only one to say that pay for service exist and I am at a loss as to why Richard would say what he did it in fact the service exist.
