I was hoping to balance the argyria notion that Marshall raised. That was the point of my message. I would agree with your "weak medicine" concern -- except that we know many folks who did use salt-accelerated CS quite effectively long before the popularization of no-salt recipes. I have to believe, with as much silver as sputtered off the electrodes in that highly conductive water, that you'd use up the capacity to make chloride at some point and be generating silver, albeit with larger particle size as I noted above. I don't advocate using salt. However, the stuff did (does) work, and not all by "faith", I'm sure. I don't think we need to exaggerate the issues to justify using what we've learned since then.
