Should metal chimney liners be grounded against lightning strikes?

andyeverett posted for all of us...

Don't know about the chimney liners but being a fireman went to a few chimneys blasted apart, in fact one down the street from me. So nature always wins...

I would place a properly installed lightning rod and make certain the whole house electrical system is up to snuff.

Unfortunately 9 1/2 years ago the OP was on a ladder to ground the liner, and fell off. A timely response from you, like 9 3/4 years ago, may have saved his life.

Do people who use the homemoaners hub actually have to fail an intelligence test, as has been reported on the internet?
