If the spark always travels least resistance to only one electrode...are you not getting a better chance of getting the best spark possible by having four times the electrodes with only the best sparking? By the way thank all of you for your input!!!

At first blush you would think so, but you have to look at what's really happening to the spark plug over time. The electrode with the path of least resistance is the one that's going to be used. The other three will sit there doing nothing but getting crap on them from the less-than-100% combustion in the cylinder. In other words, by the time the one electrode is fouled (has too much crap on it to fire properly) the other electrodes are fouled as well. Time to replace the plug.
