So worrying about that is kind of silly I think, when you know
an ungrounded mast is big trouble if it ever does get hit."

The grounded tower catch the electrons in form of "electron conveyer belt"
and lightning. If the "belt" is efective enough no lightnings. All local
exces of electrons from the cloud flow without lightning. If no the
lightning appears but it is weak (the sum of electrons is the same).

The strike in the ungrouded tower is always strong.
So You are right.

no, that is not right. a grounded tower can not dissipate enough
charge to reduce the stroke intensity. towers actually attract MORE
high current strokes than the surrounding ground.


Well, Szechuan obviously hasn't figured out which way the belt is
pumping electrons, so it's not surprising he's wrong. He also doesn't
understand anything of the physics involved, either, so none of his
nonsensical answers should be a surprise.
