[...why we are interested in reducing edge > effects?] -Cos electricity is bone idle and will take the line of least resistance...the shortest route between two points...the quickest way to get from 'here' to 'there'. 'Edges' or 'high spots' on electrodes will be the shortest distance between those points and the silver will tend to be 'stripped' from those points moreso than the whole surface of the 'electrode?'. With two 'flat' surfaces electricity will find it harder to find 'edges' or 'high spots' and silver will tend to be 'stripped' from the *entire* surface of the electrodes more evenly, rather than be concentrated at any of those perceived high points.
I guess it could be said that round wire electrodes have two 'high spots' also, the length of the two sides of the electrodes directly opposing each other...but then ya can't win em all <g>.
