    Lightning rods DO NOT attract strikes, the same way my towers don't attract strikes. They dissipate charge build up to ground preventing most strikes(note most, lightning will still hit on occasion)

    Granted, they dissipate charge build up. They are also there for the purpose of routing the strike to ground rather than the alternative. In that routing there is the "attraction". Call it a function of purpose rather than seeking. Semantics perhaps...a way of thinking about it.
