Master Limited Partnership MLP) vs General Partnership (GP) (income)

[eccotecc]

I own two MLPs, ETP and PAA. Recently, both MLPs have established GPs. It seems as if the growth momentum has shifted from the MLP to the GP. The GPs seem to be structuring the business model to their favor at the expense of the MLPs.

Is this a normal event or should I be concerned? I like both MLPs but not at the expense of future growth and income.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
