Still not sure, seems like Avery was asking why a horizontal gel vs vertical gel would have different resistive scenarios. Seems like in either case you're removing electrolytes via electrolysis, so resistance would increase due to less charge carriers in solution. Imagine the charge were people, the ions are taxi cabs. Getting to the airport from downtown has some ease/difficulty, when there are less taxis on the road it gets harder to catch a taxi, when there are more taxis on the road it is much easier to get to the airport.
I'm not sure why a vertical gel vs a horizontal gel would change the ending resistance, unless the two gels are not made the same (agarose vs polyacrylamide, totally different buffers)... I'm guessing the gels Patrik is mentioning have different buffering systems.

But the gel isn't a conductive crystal, it's a dielectric matrix. Current flows only because of the electrolyte.
