I was always told that they were used in order to prevent a "Choke" by bonding the GEC to the metal pipe.

Joe,

See the 1999 NEC Section 250-64(C)
Exception: Busbars shall be permitted to have splices.
Does that exception permit the use of a busbar to splice other grounding electrode conductors, or does it just permit a busbar that is used as the grounding electrode conductor to have splices. I think that it only permits busbars used as GECs to have splices. The change in the 2005 code seems to change this and permit the busbar to be used as a splice point for other GECs.

I think they wanted to say that the GEC could be run to the busbar for splicing as it is now, anyway now it is clear.
